Injector clips to fuel rail - need advise 09 VE SIDI

[koankoan]

Hi everyone,

I have 6 new fuel injectors (bosch/hitachi style like picture below), and am having touble getting the clips that connect the injectors to the fuel rail.

The car's a 2009 VE Omega SIDI 3.0L

If you know what I'm talking about, it's the 2 part clips, one crescent shaped one fits onto the injector itself (inside the groove). Then the three points of that clip is aligned to the same three point coming of the rail, the you clips the second part over the points.

However, it's easier said than done. I have no idea how to get these back on without brute force, which I don't want to do incase I crack an injector.

Is there a tool that I'm missing, or a technique to this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and the picture below is the injector type:

There is a special tool we use for this and they do take some force.

Ensure your insurance is up to date before setting it alight.
Then buy a V8 with the payout.
