How do you get the injector connectors off??

[Shankster]

Hi,

Started the process of pulling out the injectors and have run into a minor snag. Bentley says to remove the two allen bolts holding down the harness rail but says nothing about unplugging the injectors themselves.

I've taken off the top of the track housing by unsnapping it (which Bentley does not mention) and I can see a connector on each injector but what is the method of getting them off? Tugging on the harness track seems to do nothing.

Thanks for the assistance,

Look at the top of the connecter. Should see a fine wire clip. Use a dentists pick to lift one side of the clip out of the way. Put the clips back in place when you unplug the connectors from the injectors.

This is one case where Bentley is woefully inadequate in its description, I guess. I'll try the dental pick before graduating to the bigger and badder tool - the pry bar.

Thanks for the advice,
Adnan
