Fuel injector job

I'm about to swap out my fuel injector seals and filters with some new ones. I have the instructions on how to do so. I'm just wondering if theres any special tools needed. The instructions don't mention of any but doesn't mean anything to me.

Would be best to have them ultrasonically cleaned, and have them do the filter baskets. There is a tool that removes them easily

I would love to have that done but don't have the time to keep my car torn apart that long while injectors are sent off. Heres the setup I bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

Well I've replaced the seals and basket filters on the injectors. One of the seals on the injector next to the firewall was nearly corroded in half. Thought that might of been the location of my air leak but turns out it wasn't. Now, should I reset my fuel trimmings now that I have replaced the seals and filters?

From what remember fuel trims too. Hell, just do the brake stomp, reset room fuse, and disconnect the battery

Lol the last time I removed the room fuse I barely could keep my car running. Extremely hesitant on that now. I know it needs to relearn fuel trimmings after that but I've done it before and it never acted that way. I'll brake stomp it and see if any changes happen.

The fuel trims will re-adjust within a coupla drive cycles, without any resetting, in the event there is any change in your airflow.

This is the nature of "Adaptive PCM" technology.
