injector help needed
How do you get the copper washers off of the injector tips, or do I really need to replace them?

If you are replacing the injectors I would replace them.
If you are just doing the return line T's I wouldn't mess with them.

If the injectors are removed from the engine, you should replace the copper washers.

That is about the only time they need replaced though.
