Default Help - injector seals

I have an injector seal leak and am taking my 2007 Volvo XC90 D5 to the local dealership to have all the injector seals replaced. I'm being told that the process is 'very likely' to damage the injectors as these are removed and these are £300+ each. Other posts I've read here might suggest this isn't a tricky job and a dealership shouldn't really damage the injectors when removing them unless I'm particularly unlucky and one has struck. Can anyone let me know whether they think the dealership is being over cautious in these discussions or am I being set up for a big bill....??

CheshireD5 on here has done a load of very good videos and this one is appropriate for you.

The garage are over egging the difficulty and this shows the the procedure and then the worst case scenario.
