Re: O rings on fuel injectors

The o-ring is rubber, so it should stretch a bit. Try pinching it with two fingers and "squooshing" it to the side; that may create enough of a bulge to slip a toothpick or something under it. If you have a seal pick (looks like an ice pick with the tip bent 90 degrees), you could hook it out of the groove. Or use something softer than the surrounding metal, like a sharpened popsicle stick. If you insist on trying to cut it, be very careful, as a scratch on the sealing surface in the groove could create a leak that can't be fixed.
