Hi, looking to DIY injectors.
Has anyone any experience performing this I can ask a few questions to? I am especially interested in how you got the injectors out and install or seated the new injectors properly. Supposedly these injectors are different to remove than the B48/N55s.
Any help would be appreciated.

Haven't done it myself, but if you don't have the special injector tool then remove it with the fuel rail attached instead of removing the rail first, then the injectors.

I thought about that and did not want to maybe damage the rail pulling 3 injectors at once. I will look to jerry-rig something with clamps around the head of the injector and try to gently pull each one out.

How did you end up getting them out? I'm looking to replace a single injector myself.

I just rubber padded my pliers, gripped the injector-ends and forcefully but gently and slowly pulled them out one by one. No need for a $500 injector pulling rig. That is a rip-off and scam.

The B48 injector pulling system costs $130 and is identical to the B58. I ended up purchasing that.
