Good for you. Now the hard part is waiting for them to be returned to you. Then for the fun of reinstalling them.

yeah, I guess he is pretty busy, so I am looking at a week and a half to get them back. until then, I get to drive the inlaws prius! so I go from big truck, to clown car....at least the gas mileage is good.

How hard was it to get the injector loose from the connector? In the service manual it says you need a special tool, did you have this tool or is it even necessary? How about getting the injector out of the hole?

I just pulled the high pressure connector tube out with my hand. I hadnt heard of any other way to do it, and the directions I had said "pull out high pressure connector tubes" and showed a picture of a guy holding one in his hand. as far as the injectors, I pried up gently with a tire lever, which seems pretty close to the "special" tool they are using. everything came out ok, and nothing seemed to have been damaged in the process.
