It's amazing what you can learn if you read the service manual.

Well, I install the primaries... Then I install the secondaries with tie-straps. Then I use the fuel pump test connector (with the fuel lines hooked up obviously), to pressurize the system to look for leaks.

When you install the new o-rings and grommits, coat them with vascelene or other thick lubricant. This will keep them from being torn up as you push the injector into the fuel rail.
