Injectors the easy way

All it took was a nice day and no distraction and I finally got my Bosch +40 injectors in.

Start with giving the area a good cleaning and blow dry with compressed air.
Starting with an 8mm wrench remove all the injection line clamps.
Next with a 10mm remove the return line banjo bolts and swing line out of the way.
Next with a 17mm remove the injection line nuts from the injectors.
Using your favorite penetrating oil squirt the injector retaining nuts.
With a 24mm deep socket, remove the retainer nuts and keep 2 for later.
Clean away any remains of seal ring from the injector and hole.
Squirt some more oil down around the injector.
Clean up and screw one of the retainer nuts back in a few turns.
Clean up an set the other retainer nut on top of it.
With a metric nut and washer purchased from an auto parts store,
Set the washer on top of the second retainer nut and screw the metric nut on the end of the injector.
As you tighten the nut down, it pulls the injector from the head.

I read about a lot of methods from vise grips to fancy slide hammers, but this was just the gnats.
