No, but on your car you can so you don't have to crank the engine as long. Be sure to use new heat shields. It's also a good idea to test the new nozzles before reinstalling.

If no one else had mentioned it the 2 parts of the Spray Nozzle cannot be interchanged with the other Spray Nozzles; keep the parts together.
Likewise do not mix the parts of an 1 Injector keep all the parts (except the Spray Nozzle you are changing) from each Injector together with that Injector. There is a hand pumped Injector Nozzle Tester with a Gauge on it used to test the Opening Pressure of the injectors. If you want to see what they look like do an Ebay Search "Diesel Injector or Nozzle Tester". Also when Injectors are rebuilt the lap the precision surfaces inside of the Injector which makes a good sealing surface. If you just swap the Spray Nozzles besides the chance of gettin dirt trapped between those surfaces it just plain my leak a little between the Injector Body and the Nut. Also to set the Opening Pressure you need to swap different sized shims that go on one end of the spring inside of the Injector and put the Injector on the Nozzle Tester to see what opening pressure you are getting. To bleed the air from you system leave the Hard Line Nuts up by the Injectors a little loose and crank (with out overheating your Starter or killing the Battery) until you see fuel spurting out from under the nuts. Tighten the nuts and start the engine.

This is great info thx for the input all, also what about the oil in the injector nozzles, do i have to wash it off with diesel additive or just put it it, i also going to clean my injector housing while i am at it too i ll see how it goes...

I just made sure all the parts were clean when putting them back together. I sprayed them with brake cleaner. I installed new nozzles a while back. Be sure to tighten the two parts very hard. I followed DG's advice to not gorilla tighten, should'nt have done that, as I had to take 'em back out and do so.

Keep everything clean as possible.
Dip the cleaned internal parts in clean diesel fuel just before putting them together - NEVER leave anything dry. If you have a torque wrench..
injector halves - 1. 30ft lbs leave it a minute then loosen. 2. 60 ft lbs " " " 3. 65 ft lbs leave it. injector into head - 55ft lbs or 75Nm.

You probably can skip the "testing" unless your feeling really unlucky. I have just "swapped in new nozzles and away you go", chances are your fine. That said, I recently sprung to have new nozzles balanced and tested for both my 240s, nice idle now, Depends if you wanta spend the $ Always new seals tho.

Isn't the injector body torque value 70-80 NM?
I would not install a set of nozzles with out pop-testing. I have rebuilt sets using the original shims and usually one or two injectors are quite a bit off. Springs wear, and you are also using a different nozzle design and manufacturer.

I wouldn't either now that I know the pleasure of a smooth idle also having the feeling I did the best I could to have my babies running well. Heck, I've pulled injectors from parts cars, stuck em in, down the road I go. It runs. Nah, I'll have em tested now

I would like to test them but those diesel store DELCO if you ever heard it and the only one in my state is going to charge me $25 buck for 1 injector to test... that like $125 for all of them its a rip off...REALLY

I have a pop tester in my garage but it got stuck and I couldn't fix it before I installed my new Bosio nozzles. So I took my chances and installed the new nozzles without testing. After they broke in & settled, the engine was as smooth & quiet as with the old Bosch nozzles that I knew were balanced. So I guess I got lucky. Keep in mind though that initially the pop pressures will be slightly different than after break-in. So it's a waste of time to be too picky about the pressures with brand new nozzles. If you reuse the same internal parts from each injector, I think there's a good chance the new nozzles will be balanced after break-in if not before. Testing, especially for spray pattern, is more useful with the lower quality nozzles like the made-in-India Bosch. I'd never install those without testing.
