Just looking for suggestions. I have bled the fuel lines before but never went as far as loosening the nuts on the injectors. However, since I have recently replaced all of the old fuel lines, I don't think I will be able to get away with that this time. I know that you use a 17mm wrench to loosen the top nut on the injectors, however, access is not great to the last two injectors. It looks like you probably have to remove the large hose to the air intake and maybe the valve cove for better access. Any suggestions from forum members to make this a little easier ie. additional tools used other than a 17mm wrench, crowfoot etc, did you remove any items to have better access. Just want to head off any possible frustrations or go out and buy the right tool/s if necessary. Thanks again guys. Your suggestions are always welcome!

I can't remember exactly but I was able to crack all the injectors. But-I do have a notched out box-end wrench as well as the VW uses a 17 mm as well. If you can get one or two cylinders bled and then get it started the other will work itself out. Just need to run at high throttle to help push the fuel through.
