I used a long (broken tip) punch, and a hammer.  The broken tip helps
because it's not focusing all the driving force on such a small point.
I had the punch pushing against the top of the nut that joins the
injector to the line...couldn't see any other way to do this...I'm
sure there's some sort of VAG special tool that makes this job a cinch.
I probably only got them half way in, doesn't seem to hurt the car at all.
