Return to the Return line thread.... Now, many have asked how to get the stinking little springie clips on the injector returns. Here's my way... for the factory look.

AC Delco GM 14066305 hose and clips 1238007 for factory or Easy DIY... McMaster-Carr, Viton hose 5119K41 $5 a ft and matching clips 25 pack 7329K31 $3 bucks.
LETS GOooo
In a word, forceps. Curved , locking forceps (with the bigger tip /jaws). See the easy to follow pictures. A little squirt of your fav oil in the blue & yellow can and easy as pie.

Cut end of hose cleanly and square. Safety glasses on and load the clip ears parallel into jaws and lock forceps. A little drop of oil (helps) slide clip an inch from end. Place hose flush and down on injector nipple. Slide clip towards injector and about 2mm from end of hose and release forceps holding latch. Curved tool allows easy positioning from all the tight locations. No cussing, No fussing. Good for another 30 years.

Curved needle nose pliers is outstanding. Lowes/Home Despot/Harbor Freight/Ama$on….

Readily available and oh so useful.

Also removes large retaining rings and those little salmon bones that always remain in the filet despite telling the fish mongers to remove them.
