I bought new injectors from one of the recommended members here.
Installing them was going well until my 7th one (cyl.#3).
Apparently the nut that holds the line onto the top of the injector is corroded to the line.
I was turning the nut and it wanted to bend the fuel line. So I braced the line while turning the nut.
After turning the nut a bit I realized that the nut was so "attached" to the line that the line was being twisted above the nut.
How screwed am I now?
After I realized what was going on I put some Kroil penetrant on the top of the nut but I'm afraid the line is probably toast.
And I haven't been able to find even a part # in my shop manual or online.
Help?
