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

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

New injectors seals are cheap, like a dollar apiece. Taking the injectors out
without the special tool either requires the cool thingy my dad made, or a pair
of ViceGrips... grip the injector tightly on the hex part (the big solid beefy
part), use the valve cover as a fulcrum, and bang on the other end with a
hammer.
If the injectors wiggle a lot, it means that you have hardened or otherwise
shot seals.
