i personally don't think that all those steps are required. if you want, you can do it the way i did. it worked really well for me. the first thing i did was removed the top o-rings and put them aside. then placed a tube about 10" long over the top part of the injector(has to be tight for seal). then i got my power from my battery with two wires(+ -). hook them up to the battery and hook the ground to the injector and leave power aside for now. then sprayed carb cleaner into the tube to fill up only 1/4 way. then place top part of tube in your mouth and pressurize. now tap the power on and off and it should start sparying. i placed a clean paper towel under it to see the dirt come out. mine came out really dirty at first then cleared up. i filled the tube twice for each injector. after you install the injectors, change you fuel filter and fill tank with gas and add a fuel injector cleaner. i used lucas. this will help beacuse of their additives. if you have any questions, send me a pm. post up your results. hope this helps and good luck!

RE: cleaning injectors
i didnt clean mine but i rebuilt them, i went to NAPA and bout an injector rebuild kit that has all new o rings, seemed to do the job, but depending on if your are all gunket up you might have to do something else with them, just call up NAPA or something and see what they say
