pulling 24V injectors…tip, tricks?

I have pulled many 12v injectors with my homemade injector puller tool.
I have to pop some 24V injectors off now.
Any tricks or tips you guys have?
I searched through the threads but found nothing useful.
Thanks!

The only tricks I can remember are:

Dont unscrew the right side bolt (drivers side) on the injector hold down bracket . ONLY the left side bolt is required as the bracket is made to slip in and out without loosening the right side bolt.

A really small screwdriver will easily reach in and grab a thread on the crossover tube so you can pull the tubes out without an expensive puller.

Always replace the crossover tube o-rings with new ones.

When removing and installing the injectors you can use the shorter bolt from the APPS bracket to screw in the top of the injector as something to pull/leverage against when popping them out and pushing them back in.

Always make sure the copper washer comes out with the injector.

When tightening the injector hold down bracket and the crossover tubes, always do them together. Snug up the injector line on the crossover tube by hand, then snug up the hold down bolt by hand. Then the injector line a little more with a wrench, then the hold down bolt a little more. Keep going in that manner until they're both at torque spec so as to not cause the injector and crossover tube to become misaligned and potentially leak.

If you haven't adjusted the valves then do it while the valve cover is off.

The only other thing I can remember is that I understand you can start the engine with the valve cover off to assure everything is functioning correctly upon the initial startup. No oil should escape.

That may be more than you're looking for in regards to "tricks".

Thanks for the tips Katoom.
I got them pulled today pretty easily, once I knew what I was looking at.
