Tips?.. how to get fuel rail back on.

[dablk]

Off no probs,
injectors swapped no probs,
Can i get the damn thing back on....
No1. pops in no problem. the others just dont appear to want to locate.

Any tips?.. I have tried a bit of wd40. I amassuming they all need to pop back in so that it takes a reasonable pull to get them out again (as it did when i pulled them off).

Thanks in advance

I got 1 in loosely then bolted the rail on.
seemed to work ok for me!

It can be really hard to get them back in. Ive done the same as levaz in the past.

Yep, get it positioned in place. Sometimes they pop straight in, otherwise they can be fiddly. Use the rail bolts to pull the o-rings in, making sure they're not getting damaged. Then put pressure on the rail where required.

imagine if you could get some kind of grease for rubber, how much easier that would make things.

Rub a little bit of engine oil around the bottom o-rings. I've had my fuel rail off a few times. I set it on and line the injectors up and the push down directly on top of each injector. You can see the injector move down slightly as it seats properly. Using the bolts to pull the injectors down might not always work as the rail will flex slightly due to it being plastic. You should definitely be able to seat the injectors properly by doing it as how I have explained.

Cheers folks.
Had some joy with sitting the rail on a house radiator to try and warm up the o rings a bit. Then i used a small amount of wd40 sillicon lub spray. Still needed a good shove but we are on.

Glad you got it sorted.
