I have one and never had a problem pulling them,  and the o-rings have
always been hard(why else woud I be pulling them).  The tool just fits
around the injector and you use a a long screwdriver to pry the tool, with
injector, up.  Works great, and you pry from the front so the small space
is no problem.
