    Couldn't tell ya exactly which one it was warbeaver, but you will need 2 packs of those anyways. The feed and return lines have 2 o-rings in each, and one line is large with 2 larger o-rings and one line is small with 2 smaller o-rings
    so..ur replacing the yellow o-rings too? i thought you were only replacing 1 o-ring in each line? the brown ones...

    I changed both yellow and brown in both lines for good measure. Although the yellow rings were not in as bad of shape as the brown ones, they were very soft and in need of changing.

    when you replace injector o-rings do you usually replace both the ones on the bottom of the injector and the top, or just the bottom? If you want to pull the injectors out of the fuel rails, do they just pull out? and you just slip them back in with the new o-rings?

    When you pop off the fuel rail, there is a metal slip retainer at the top of the injector that holds the injector in the rail. Slide that sleeve out and then the injector can be pulled out of the rail.

    It is recommended to change top and bottom o-rings. As for buying injector o-rings, just ask at the parts counter. There are 12 in a pack I believe. Enough to do top and bottom.

    Because if you don't replace all your injectors you risk getting a nasty vacuum leak or worse.

    No, I'm saying if they had brass fittings, this wouldn't be an issue.

    Quick disconnects aren't a smart thing to use since they rely on rubber o-rings.
