?s About Return Lines and Injectors

Ok, so I bought a return line kit as well as some new injectors. But now that I am under the hood, I have some questions.
I know the return line caps are supposed to be torqued to 22lbs. But how? They have the fuel line coming out of the top of them. So how do I get a torque wrench on there?

I have always just tightened them up by feel.

You can use a crow foot socket on the torque wrench and torque it a couple pounds less to compensate for the extra length... Or just wing it like us backyard guys do, if it doesn't leak its tight enough!

The return line caps just snap in place, I think you are talking the injection line nuts.

22 ft pounds, tight but don't go gorilla tight with a short wrench.
