Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. (luckily we have strong American car culture so USA parts are covered good.) When I change injectors, I also notice that injectors came out very easy. I made correct tool in half hour; I veld two nuts with correct threads together, used tube, long bolt and couple of shims to pull and push injectors out and back in.
Same as my 1980... one of the first few "i" cars So it must be they sometimes used the screw in plastic seat (ala VW) with the fat O-ring and then sometimes used the big rubber seal with the metal collar/cap. Doesn't appear to be any set point when they transitioned from one to the other. I've certainly seen cars between yours and mine with the plastic seats and O-rings. I had no idea they were still using this setup as late as your car. Whats the old Foose line..?

Does the seal simply expand against the injector from compression when the carrier is tightened, or must the injector be pressed into it? How did you check and adjust the new injectors?
The injector fits tightly in the seal and the seal fits tightly in the carrier. I could not get the injector into the seal or the seal into the carrier w/o lub of some kind. I used a very light coating of dish soap and a good amount of pushing. It doesn't just fall in together. It is pretty TIGHT.
