Misfiring & pulling injectors
Thought I would give Prowler's injector test a go, but cannot get any of the injectors out? Did prep with a bit of WD40, but they seem incredibly tight. Had tried with long nose pliers pivoted on rocker cover, but the keep slipping - tried pulling out by hand, no joy :dontknow: .

If your running the car have you tried a good injector / fuel cleaner ? I had sticking injectors and rough running , gave the car a good dose of Redex cleaner , a few 100 miles later and no more problems . I always run my Mk1 with fuel cleaner in every forth tank of juice

I did manage to get molegrips nicely positioned on the injector and got good leverage with a big screw driver. I put so much effort on the screwdriver that it started to flex at which point I decided to give up. Unfortunately as I removed the screwdriver the mole grips slipped on the fuel line and bent it at the union that holds the the injector. So now I need a new fuel line and still ned to remove the injhector.
Has anyone had similar problems with 'stuck' injectors or have any further tips? Also does anyone know where I can get 4th injector fuel lines? Seen these advertised mail order - can I get them over the counter and how much?
Thanks for any help

If you are removing the damaged pipe, you should be able to wiggle and twist the injector a bit more easily in its housing. Might be worth your trying the Mole Grip method again, but with a sturdy crowbar instead of a screwdriver. A block of wood on the rocker will help prevent denting it.
Don't hurt yourself though! Watch out for the Moles slipping. Eyeshields might be a good precaution. :roll:
Sorry I can't think of anything more scientific.
Good luck!
Geoff.

Might have a go this afternoon if I'm feeling strong as I bent me grips yesterday. And there supposed to come out by hand, :mrgreen:
Any idea how often these seals are supposed to be changed.

I'm trying to change my head gasket and I keep hitting these little brick walls. Following poor richard's rabit book to the word but I've removed the intake manifold to get a better angle on the bl**dy injectors.

Here's a picture of the one I made out of a B&Q fence bracket . 20 mins with a hacksaw and pretty much perfect tool for the job. The area circled to the right slides onto the neck of the injector and you put a pry bar/large screwdriver through the circle on the left.
