Injector copper rings

I was just watching One of the links posted on another thread about injectors. This link showed a guy changing o-rings but he could not change the copper ones?? is this difficult or is there a special too needed for this?? I was going to change mine tomorrow.
Thanks

LOL I seen that vid too guess that guy never tried enough he was pretty brutal with that screwdriver too lol.

There is no special tool as far as I know when I changed mine the copper ones gave me some grief too I used a buck knife between the injector and the copper ring lightly and that broke them loose.

ALWAYS change the copper washers.
I use a box cutter knife, pry it in there and slide them off.

I am in the middle of changing the injector o-rings and my question is the middle o-ring(s) on my injector has 2 o-rings (round and small square) just like the top o-rings with the metal ring on it and the o-ring kit only provides 1. Is this a revision?? they are AA's
