I need to replace one injector. I have a misfire in one cylinder and as far as I can tell that is the problem. Are there any special tools involved for removing the injectors and can I pull just one? I have a repair manual but I would like some finer details as to the process. I really want to do it myself because I am not to keen on spending $400 to have a shop do it. Thanks.
