I bought the common replacement 1.7 liter fuel injectors from rock auto about a month ago. They are installed on an engine that was removed for some out of the car maintenance. I only put them on there a few weeks ago. They are already splitting at the bend. I guess I'm gonna be cutting them off and reinstalling the pre bent hoses that I had bought new a year ago.

I found the same issue, cheap hoses, with the 2.0L version, I was installing them on the fuel rail and I bent the hose to better conform to the space and the bronze ring deformed. I didn’t need to cut them off, just some hard tugging they came apart, I also used the bent hoses I already had. FYI the 2.0L injector version works very well. |

I used a small dremel cutoff wheel to cut the brass slightly and they pulled right off. |
