Default dremel-ing out injector seals in somthing ? besides manifold

anyone know of somthing that works good for putting injector seals in to dremel them out if you dont have a spare manifold around

last time i burned my hand, shot one so far i almost lost it, almost wrecked one etc cause they dont sell those stiffer green ones anymore around here there softer black rubber

you really don't have to dremel those out. put a long pry bar on top of the fuel rail and in between the intake manifold plenum. then attache the screws or nuts.

I did them by hand at the Ontario HMT meet, I'm a hardcore ----------er though, you sound like you have gay mans piano fingers, stop being a ----- and develop some calises. :P

Dont use your hand dumb@$$es! Use a flare wrench that will fit it snug.

me too, it really wasn't a big deal. just take your time and do it on a lower speed or don't push as hard.

ya i guess i dont like getting high speed rubber burns i must have puss hands. the newer black rubber seals are alot harder to hold in a round shape in your hand there too soft. i guess im just not gona do it then if that works

So don't just keep going if the rubber heats up. First off, freeze them prior to doing this, (not hard in MN). Then work all four at the same time so that you can rotate them when they heat up. Use your hands, it isn't that hard. I actually havn't had luck with the manifold trick.
