LN2 #4 Injector replacement
I'm trying to install a new injector in the #4 cylinder on an LN2 in an S10. Tight quarters back there are making it difficult to pop it in with a hammer, easily done on the other 3. I actually broke the top on the new injector I tried to install. 
I moved the relays (or whatever the small boxes are on the firewall) to get more clearancebut still could not get a straight on whack to the top of the injector. I'm pretty sure the o-rings were on correctly, and oiled it up before attempting to install it. Anyone got any secrets to share about getting the injector seated before I ruin another perfectly new one?

Well, I discovered the solution and will post it here for future users. You can push and rotate the injector and it will pop right in! No horrible whacking with a hammer or any other violent behavior need be applied.
