Injectors "drop in"...with some work.
Tools needed:
Long 10mm socket
T30 Torx
Long pliers or a cutting tool (I used end nippers)
First thing's first, disconnect the battery and open the gas tank to relieve any pressure.
On AOS -
Remove corbin clamp on front hose
Remove green quick connect
Remove the hose that the quick connect is attached to from the underlying metal bracket.
On the left side of AOS, use your preferred method to remove the factory clamp (I would prefer to do away with these all together and replace with worm clamps to make servicing or removal next time easier) from the PCV valve.
On right side of AOS, remove the factory clamp.
Remove three 10mm nuts that attach the AOS to underlying bracket.
Now that you have some slack, you should be able to get to the hose underneath. I STRONGLY recommend that you use a worm clamp here during reassembly, as I don't think you have any other choice.
The AOS should be easy to maneuver now. Remove the clamp holding the left underside hose, the AOS should be free. Cover the oil pan drain hose with a towel to prevent debris from entering.
AOS Bracket -
Next, undo one 10mm nut holding the bracket to the valve cover.
Undo two T30 torx that attach bracket to intake manifold.
There are 3 locations where the engine harness loom attaches to this bracket. These are somewhat hard to remove, I recommend opening the plastic retainers on each point.
Remove bracket from engine.
Injector Rail -
Cut zipties on fuel rail. (it looks like the harness would come out with the rail, but there is a weatherpak on a solenoid in the rear of the engine that is not possible to get to with human sized hands)
Remove fuel line quick connect to rail (some fuel will drain, it's not a lot).
Begin rocking the fuel rail until the injectors are pulling out of the intake manifold.
Note - there's a solenoid in the way of fully removing the in the rail this way, that doesn't look like it can be removed with the motor in the car.
Remove the clips from the first forward injectors and remove them. This should give you space to rock the rail towards the front of the car and remove it
Now with the rail free, remove the clips from the remaining injectors. Install your e85 injectors. The e85 injectors have a short snout, so they can be installed as an assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal
Let me know if I've missed anything!
