So I'm part way into doing my E350 o-rings. They are leaky but not brittle enough to tear easily. What's the best course of action? Pulling the injectors? I got the easiest to reach ones to tear but after 20 minutes, I'm fighting with the next injector thats not too hard to reach. Heaven help me when I get to the hard to reach ones.
Best way to remove old injector o-rings?

I've cut them with a razor blade, or used a pick to pull them off. I can only imagine how frustrating it is in a van, though. Are you accessing via the hood or the doghouse?
Both. Alternator and fuel filter had to come off for hood side access.
I second the pick and/or razor blade.

Yup. Those are my weapons of choice.

I only use picks. Usually a hook shaped one works best for me.
Well I got them all out and replaced. I will know in a few cold mornings if it's better.
Someone, maybe ATS, had a plastic tee on the passenger side between two caps for the crossover, instead of an elbow cap at the end. Running it normally would put the hose very near an exhaust heat shield, if not against it.
I broke the tee by mistake. Oops. I had spare good caps so I changed it to an elbow but i pointed it away from the heat shield and just ran a longer hose with a big curve, as shown in attached pic.
Additional pics here. First pic shows the old setup with the tee.

I just assembled the 4 caps in a row for each side then installed the.assembly. Then I only had 5 or 6 to do in the engine compartment itself. The worse was the one going to the fuel filter but even that wasn't too bad.
Later I'll post a pic of the pliers I use on the clamps, it works great even in odd places sometimes like the fuel filter connection.
