I found when I did my injectors that if they don't go down properly then they aren't in correctly. It took me a couple of goes to get it slide down right. I think the copper washer didn't slip down correctly the first time and may have been sitting crooked and jamming the top of the injector from seating properly. Just a thought and from my own endeavors with injectors. Taking them apart was a real trial as I cleaned all the bits and was terrified that A I would loose a bit or B not remember how they went back together again. Persevere and it'll be worth it. Keep everything together and lay them out as the come off the injector, makes for easy stages for reassembly.
Hope this helps.
Hi Colm.
It is always best to add a little smear of oil or brake grease on the copper washer so it stays put on the injector but most of the time if you have the correct washer it will be a snug fit anyways.
Wipe off any excess grease.
You can use a blunt small chisel to tap on the injector where the yellow dots are to help the injector seat down, if you find them to be tight.
