Re: [tech][mk1][pulling out injectors]

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

I've done it many times, without problems, the following way:

 pry out the injector with large flat-blade screwdriver, just enough so 
you can get a 12mm spanner part-way onto the injector body, i.e. under 
the 14mm nut on the hose.
Make sure that there is enough of the back of the spanner jaw showing so 
that you can get a corner of the screwdriver blade under the 14mm nut.  
You should be able to twist against the nut and pry the injector out of 
the seat far enough that it will come the rest of the way out with no 
trouble.
Some light oil or petrol, squirted on the injectors, before you start 
makes it easier.

HTH.
