Default How easy is it to fit injectors?

Just bought a chip and some Greys for my car, wondering if I can fit the injectors myself??

Let me re-phrase that, how do I do it and does it need any special tools? Will I fit them wrong and set fire to my engine bay?

Easy, unbolt fuel rail with two short 10mm bolts, careful as fuel pressure will still be present, use a rag over rail as you pull it off the injectors, but pressure soon goes.
Make sure to unplug the injectors first though, and slide off the clips, lift fuel rail, remove injectors from rail or inlet, which ever one they stick in, then use a bit of light oil on the seals of the new injectors, after checking them carefully for splits/worn sections, and refit in reverse order.
Check VERY carefully for leaks around the rail/injectors before driving off.

ps I assume you have the fitting kit that goes on the top of the injectors, otherwise they won't fit anyway.

I personally would give the chip and grey's to my tuner, and let him put them in, and then set it up properly.

Fitting kit is there (2 metal rings and rubber on inlet side and 1 spacer and rubber on outlet side) and at least the end caps aren't present as you see sooo many with end cap on greys and light blues which fuck the spray pattern up into more of a dribble

As said it's all there, save some money fit yourself, unless miules and miles away from set up place, will only need fuel pressure(?) co tweaking anyway, just drive gentle till you get there, but otherwise it is only about 20/30 mins for tuner to fit stuff so if not sure ?
