What's the best way of Replacing The Injector Rubber Tubes?
There is a possibility that I may have a leak in the Rim of one of the Injectors on my V12 'Cherry Blossom'
That being the case I would have to remove the Fuel Rail to replace that Faulty Injector, which I've done before when I replaced all of the Spark Plugs
So if I have to do that, then I may as well replace all of the Rubber Injector Tubes while I am about it (including new seals)
But what is the Best way to do this?
Should I put the Injectors in the Inlet Manifold and then put the Tubes on the Injectors followed by the Fuel Rail
Or put the Tubes on the Injectors and then put the Injectors with the Tubes on, into the Inlet Manifold followed by the Fuel Rail
Or assemble the whole thing beforehand and then fit it as one unit?

Pre-assemble rail and injectors. Put the Pintle seals in the intake. Line em all up. Rock the rail clockwise and ccw gently and watch that they all progress into the seals nicely.
Optional non-approved tip: A small swipe of rubber-safe lube on the sides of the pintle caps helps. Kerosene works.
