How can I remove 16V injectors?

[Potterman at parts4vws.com (Mike Potter)]

I'm sure you could get the puller to work....but pulling seems to work good
for me.....but I am in sunny CA where things tend to come apart easier on
older cars :)

  I used the puller on mine and it worked just fine. Leverage was kind of
tricky but worked. I used a strip of wood to get leverage on the manifold
and they came out just fine. Positioning the tool was kind of a pain but
still better than yanking on the hard line.

  If you fiddle around with it and have a long ass screwdriver you can use
the puller tool on a 16v.

    On 16v's you have to PULL really Hard. Spraying them with WD-40 or the
like
    helps.

    That tool is only for 8v's

    All these years and all the brain trusts out there and no one has found
an
    ingenious way to get these out?  I'm disappointed :(
