Injector Clip Vfaq, installing injector clip 'staples' easy Options

[xian 1g]

Tonight I was working on a car, and came to the point where it was time to put the injector clips back on. Well, tonight I found a simple six second installation method that will leave the hair on your head, the beer in the fridge, and the screw driver out of the wall.

Now, we all no what a piss poor job the mitsu God's did designing the little injector clip 'staples' that hold the injector clips onto the injectors.

These little f.u.c.k.e.r.s sometimes go in easily (well, never for me, but i've heard others say that sometimes they do), or they can be as painfull as a night with the bloomington IDB initiation club.

Untill tonight my solution was broken clips or just asking people to kindly not smoke next to my car when it was idling due to the massive amounts of fuel being sprayed out.

You will need:
2 needle nose pliers
one hand
and 2 minutes for all 4

Allright, this is your starting point:




Begin by inserting one of the needle nose pliers into the inside of the clip, with the pliers opening width wise of the clip. Fit the tips of the pliers in between the center console and the plastic outer edge.

Here is a pic that does better than my description:




T.B.A. - do to scripts and functions of this board I can only post so many pics per reply...

O.K. So Now you have both pliers inserted inbetween the center console and the plastic outer edge. At this point in time you might fumbling around a little bit with the two pliers, injector clip and the injector clip staple. This is the hand postion I found to work best for me. If you have a better way, great, use that. I'm just trying to cover any issue you might have.

With your palm facing upwards towards you, rest the top part of the injector clip (where the wire harness goes in) inbetween the ring finger and giving the bird finger of which ever hand is not your dominate hand. The center console should be facing you. Take your thumb and place it across the juncture where the two seperate peices of the plier come together of both pliers at once. It is similiar to the trekkie symbol or the way you would hold your, eh, junk. Maybe that's why this method is so easy.

allright, at this point in time take the staple with your dominate hand and feed it into the two slots for the staples. You can do this with the same hand that is holding everything if you want to show your lady a trick (caution: showing your lady the dexterity and control you have over your fingers may lead to less time working on your car.).
