Need injector swap instructions (or, come make fun of mgeoffriau's noobness)
So, I've managed to get a few things done on the car (alternator swap, roll bar wrap, R-pkg front lip)...and I got my IAT sensor in the mail the other day, which means (I think) that I have all the parts for my turbo build. Well, other than sending the downpipe back to BEGi for them to weld a 1.6 exhaust flange on it.
Anyway, the next few things on my list to accomplish are the 1.8 rear end (easy peasy), the ACT clutch (scares me), and the LC-1/MS2 install. But, I need to swap my injectors when I do the MS2 install.
Now, from what I can tell, swapping injectors is fairly easy...but I just can't find any info on it. Maybe most people who are doing it already know how, but I'm a noob and don't want to do something dumb, like spraying pressurized fuel all over myself.
I've searched m.net and mt.net to no avail. Help? Or if you don't want to help, feel free to hurl some mockery my way (but make it funny).

For the Injectors this is what you need to do.
1. Open up the rear gas cap to let off pressure.
2. Unbolt the 3 bolts holding the fuel rail down.
3. Make sure to catch the spacers behind the fuel rail and bolts as they tend to like to fall into tiny places where you can not reach them.
4. Pull off old injectors.
5. Put some oil around the o-rings on the new injectors and put in the fuel rail.
6. Line them all up with the Injector holes on the head and then bolt down the rail.

Awesome, thanks...one of the m.net posts mentioned something about removing the fuel pump fuse, then cranking the car till it's starved of fuel...unnecessary/excessive?
Bond, if you hadn't left Larry Fitzgerald in your lineup I would haven't a chance in this week's FF matchup. Thanks.

Do you guys really worry about the tiny amount of gas that comes out? I mean I just loosen the gas cap and then go in. I also tend not to smoke while I am changing injectors. As long as there are no open flames the gas will evaporate rather quickly.
