I have my intake manifold partially off to get at the injectors, but not off enough to get a correct angle on the injectors with my shortest screw driver (because I wanted to leave as many hoses on the manifold as possible, I am not able to completely take off the manifold).
The only tool that I can see that would be able to reach the injectors at the proper angle would be a 90 degree screwdriver. Is this a fantasy tool? Is there any easier way to do this without buying a "90 degree screwdriver?"
TIA

hope that helps

Well, I feel like an idiot. That'll definitely work. Thanks. I'm back off to the garage to FINALLY replace my injectors.

You might as well take the manifold all the way off. If you don't get good leverage and strip the philips (Damn Nissan!!!) you'll be screwed. I had a couple close calls even with the mani fold all the way off. Hooking everything up really isn't hard.

Replace the phillips head screws with hex-head screws while you have them out. I don't know why Nissan used phillips heads there, they suck.

Just fyi, there is a 90 degree screw driver. I have a few. Although you cant exactly put a whole lot of torque on it, but they can still be usefull.

those screws suck big ass, I had the mani off and used an impact driver to break them loose. Basicly it looks like a thick ass screw driver and you hit it with a hammer and it spins quickly to break it loose. to you need the mani off to do this

I have no idea. I got another fuel rail that already had 'em in, and thought that was a slick idea. You should be able to match 'em at a hardware store though.
