Default injector swap

I'm about to swap in some 60# Motrons. I have my fuel maps ready to go to install them but have one last question. Can I use the o-rings on the base of my stock injectors for these new injectors? They came with the o-rings on the top fuel rail side but not them bottom manifold side.

The answer to my question is yes. But, if you try and take the o rings of your stock injector with a radiator hook you have to buy new ones anyway. The base on the stock ones is pretty wide so I had to really stretch it to get it over the base and it snapped. So I need to find a new set, hopefully I can find a dealer in the area with a set so I can finally get these thing going.

You should be able to pick up a set at your local auto parts store.

I tried the other day to get a jump on it and they said no... I tried two different places. I think they both suck for real parts though.

The plastic cap/retainer on the bottom comes off so you can easily change the 0-ring without over stretching it.

Also, how do you take them off? Do they twist off or do you just pull on them?

gently pry them off.

Take one off and see if it fits the new injector, mine have always came with them.

Autozone told me that had nothing like that. I just called Napa which is right down the block (totally forgot they were there) and they have them for $2 each. I guess I just need one since I only snapped one now that I know that piece comes off. Any one know how to take it off?
