Acquired remanufactured injectors by the sponsor of these forums and installing them as I am writing this.

What was throwing me were the plastic shrouds at th ebase of the injectors, they have 2 protruding ears (what I refer to as bunny ears) at 180 deg. (oposite each other) and did not know if I needed a special tool to remove them.
