You can use o-rings from any auto parts store obviously if they are the same size. I am sure you will be able to find the right size since that size was used on a lot of Bosch injectors.

The metal lines bend pretty easily - but they do not break in my experience, but I would not bend them too much as they will not look right when you place them back. The plastic clips that hold them will probably be more of a hassle - and may need to be replaced.

My advice is to do ONE AT A TIME starting at the back of the motor. Do not pull them all out (it does not matter if you mix them up, but it's easier to control any debris or other things that may drop down in there).

You could use some dish soap to lube up the rings, but usually they pop right in.

As I have constantly said, it's pointless to put yourself through all of this unless the red injector sleeves are also replaced with their o-rings. These red sleeves in the manifolds are way past their service life and are either crumbling, chipping, and not sealing - but this is a much bigger job.
