Hi I have a 1974 2.0 all original in excellent shape. 1 of my injectors is leaking. I think it’s from the rubber connector to fuel rail. Are these easy to take off? Should I unplug the electrical component? Thanks for all your advice Enrique

if you want to remove the injector with the fuel rail, you need to remove the electrical plug. 1 screw each injector to pull out the injectors.
Carefully cut the ferrule off and remove the hose. Then a new hose elbow can be used with proper FI connectors.

Unknown history I'd replace every fuel hose on the car with SAE 30R9 or higher. This is a hose that is FI and E-15 rated.
Edit plus use the correct FI hose clamps.

Thanks. I’m the 3rd owner and previous owner replaces all fuel lines, etc. I was wondering if I need to change out the fuel injector rubber seals if I take it out

Send them to RC injectors in Torrance CA and have them cleaned and rebuilt. It's well worth it, not too expensive and you will get full dyno test results for before and after.

I change the fuel lines every 3-4 years on my cars. Including the injector little hose pieces. Its chesp and takes a couple hrs along with cleaning parts. Change the injector nose O ring too but not the big O ring
