Default Swapping fuel injectors?

Quick question...I have 42# injectors I am swapping in for my stockers, but I'm driving to my tuner before I do so. I've had the fuel rails/injectors off the intake, but never actually removed the injectors themselves. Do they just pop out of the rail like they pop out of the intake? I see the metal tabs they sit in but how exactly are they attached to the rails? I want to know what I need so I can swap them fast and not have to dick around. Thanks, Allen

If yours still have the little clip looking deals around the top side of the injectors just pop them off and then pull the injectors out. They just pop in and out. I always put a dab of oil on the O-Rings before I go to put them in. Some may be a little bitch to pop out but just do some wiggling.

Make sure they seat good when you put the rail and injectors back on.

metal tabs they sit in....it should just be o-rings in the intake.

pull your rail off and sit it aside. then pull your injectors out.

if its something different, post a picture please.
