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...

at this point in time you can push the staple all the way into the clip.

should look like this:



After that, you can go ahead and push the injector clip onto the injector. As you push it on, you will here a click, and when you look down the staple will have popped out a couple of centimeteres.



Take a small buck knife, or a flat edged screw driver and push the staple back flush against the injector clip. You will know it's all the way on becuase to very ends of the staple will stick out a few millimeters past the clip if you look for it hard enough.

although you can't see it in this picture I have circled the area's in green where you will see them.




Well, that's it. It's so damn easy I did it one handed while taking pictures. Hope that helps some of you out. It will probally take you more time to read this than to do it.

good luck and have fun,
