Default removing injectors

Hi, I have a newbie question. I want to remove the injectors on my 1980 242 dl, my question is do i unscrew them or do they pull straight out? i dont want to just go in there blindly and mess something up...Thanks!

Haven't done them in a really long time I think they pull out.

unbolt the fuel rail and pull it off, injectors pull straight out sometimes with difficulty. use all new orings and new end caps on injectors use vaseline as a lubricant on new orings. They come in a kit with all orings and cap for one injector. You can get them at fpcgroton.com This is for the later cars 1986,7,8,9,0,91,92 I do not know about the earlier ones.

There's a plastic holder, one bolt retaining the black plastic holder (bolt should be towards the front of the car)
and they pull out with some force..probably a lot of force
The injectors seperate from their fuel lines by unscrewing them at the fitting, 14mm and 12mm
