unscrew the injector lines from the top of the diesel injectors, and from the injection pump. The diesel injectors can be removed with a 27mm deep socket ratchet head, or a 27mm wrench. Be very, VERY careful to keep the threads clean or you can crack the head when putting new injectors in. If your injectors are bad, they've also probably damaged your glow plugs. You should probably replace them too (they're just under the injectors on the front of the cylinder head).

How much is a 1881 volkswagen rabbit convertible worth?
A 1881 VW Rabbit convertible would be worth its weight in gold; however, I believe you are referring to a 1981 VW Rabbit convertible which is worth far less. In *perfect* condition, with the right buyer, and low miles, in a good economy, and diesel its worth about $3k. In good condition (diesel) its probably worth $1750. In great condition (gasoline) it should be worth $1000. In fair condition $500.

What will happen if i put leaded fuel in a 1981 dodge ram?
Why would you do this? This is difficult to do by accident as the filler nozzle, through which unleaded fuel is delivered, and the filler pipe on the car are both narrow. The wider nozzle used with leaded fuel and diesel just will not fit. Leaded fuel will quickly destroy the catalytic converter and O2 sensors. What other damage will be done is hard to say. Use unleaded and forget leaded fuel.
