Re: stuck injectors!

["Dave M" <dave@gorseclose.freeserve.co.uk>]

In the UK I can not find one of these tools and my injectors are also stuck
real solid. I have tried screwdrivers as levers on to a grip attached to an
injector and gave it so much force that I was worried that I might of bent
it as the lever action meant some of the force was sideways. I sprayed a
load of WD40 release fluid in but it was still stuck, hope it did not cause
the O ring to swell more!

Can you describe the tool and its action so that I might try to make one?
Have any UK listers know where I can get one at what cost.
