Fuel Injector replacement
How much should a 6 cylinder injector replacement cost at my local dealer? I am fairly grease-monkey savvy. Could I replace them myself? If so, at what cost?

I did mine, and I am a DIY'er
Each injector cost about $20 plus seals. Less than $100 for sure.

Defenitely a Doityourself project. I believe its $25 per injector and you will need the nozzleholders, reuse the old O-rings of possible.
The whole thing will take about 30-60 minutes. Good Luck! F.J.

Change out those o rings
Its an easy job as long as you have two sets of wrenches (one of which should be a flare/line wrench set) make sure to hold the line with one while you break the injectors loose with the other or you'll run the risk of twisting the end off of the injector line. Also, don't reuse the injector seals, replace them! the O-rings and seal/rubberholders get old and create vacuum leaks.
Just my 2 cents Jason |

Thanks, Jason. Tell me about the flare/line wrench set. I'm pretty "tooled up", but I'm not familiar with the terminology.
