You will need the "special" injector puller if the job is to be done w/o
alot of swearing. In addition, you wll need a very beefy flat head
screwdriver. I did my injectors last week, they all came out with a little
force. All were now plastic.

To test if one is not working, you should pull all of them and aim them
into a canister, and have a friend jump the fuel pump relay. At this point,
they will spray.
