Using the injector replacer, seat the fuel injector into the cylinder head fuel injector bore. CAUTION:
Remove all oil and fuel from the cylinders before installing the fuel injectors. Failure to do so can cause hydrostatic lock, resulting in severe engine damage.
Do not strike the top of the fuel injector to seat the injector in the cylinder head fuel injector bore. Damage to the fuel injector will occur. Use hand pressure on the top of the fuel injector until the fuel injector hold-down plate is flush with the cylinder head.
Tool looks like a dist. hold down for a small block chevy. It fits around the injector, a bolt hole in the center when tightened it pushes the injector down, works like a lever.

They have to go straight in in relation to their bores so that the copper washers on the nozzle tips will seal in the copper sleeve in the head. Once everything is lined up properly it shouldn't take more than a gentle smack with the palm of you hand to seat them. Do not try to draw them down with the hold down plate.
