I couldn't find anything in the search.......
Injection is all new to me so please bear with me as I may have some noob questions.
I just changed out the rubber fuel lines under in the engine bay, and noticed that the rubber line right off injector number 3 is leaking. Is that rubber hose pressed into the injector and not replaceable?

It is replaceable, you can either get under those bell shaped cups with an xacto knife and cut the hose off lengthwise or split the bell with a dremel (I prefer the surgery myself), the injector has a hose barb on the end like anything else in the system, use new FI style clamps on the new hoses.

You have to cut a slit in the metal band around the hose and spread it, and it will come off. Make sure to use fuel injection hose it has a higher pressure rating.

Good Luck
