2nd gen injector diffusers removal
Okay so I've been taking apart my intake manifold and cleaning it and managed to brake one of the injector diffusers. Now my question is how do you actually remove the diffusers??? I've been looking on the club and everyone just says remove them! easier said than done. How's this done it looks easy as hell!?

You can reach on the inside of the manifold or port(primary) and push upwards slowly.Carefully.
If you use some penetrating lube and work at them carefully they will eventually just slide or pop out.
The thing is though,those whole diffuser is like a spacer,so you need to make sure that you replace them with the same height.
IF you are just taking the little "screen-like" part off then sure,you can do that,But not using them on the old injection system may not be beneficial.The newer injectors however have a better spray pattern so really you can keep the diffuser piece in or take it off.
