injector circlip removal?
How the hell do I get the metal circlips out of the injectors so I can replace the D-ring and ferrule ring?
It doesn't have ears like a standard circlip..........
Thanks in advance.

I bought a push punch as well thinking I could indent the sides a bit and grab it

Does removing the o-ring first allow for slack in the circlip as I see that the clip sits on something else, not directly on the d-ring. I was told they were a bitch to get out, and without having any spare new d-rings I've never tried hard.

Someone just told me to get a small socket that fits inside the injector but big enough to catch the snap ring and tap it. It gives some slack to get behind andpull out the clip. Going to try it now and see how it goes.

OH Damn! Didn't notice it before because the back injector was the one blown out. I actually started replacing just the o-rings and noticed this. It came out of the inj that had the blown out o-ring. Do I have to replace the injector now?
Here's the kit on the left. I don't see that piece anywhere?

I don't know what it is but there is some kind of piece between the two pieces in question.

I hgave had success in just replacing the o-ring with out removing anything else. its a pain in the butt.
what method did you use to get the clip out?
also the metal d ring (the broke part) you need to make sure that you have all the pices of it, if not you need to find it before it passes threw the oil pick up and in to the g-rotor. if it does pass its a very costly amount of damage.
