Title: Manifold replacement - KR
Post by: kkh120 on 15 June 2007, 08:05

Looking to swap a 50mm for a 42mm on a KR. Haynes is its usual self.

Looking at getting the injectors out, they will have to come out first to allow removal of the lowere manifld section. How do you get a grip on them to pull them out when they are so far in?

Any tips would do the job....thanks.

How did you get the lowere manifold out passt the injectors?

Dont they sit in housings that go through the lower manifold?

yes, the injector seats are in the lower inlet manifold. Just pull the injectors out, they will need a bit of persuasion though.
