Re: Removing CIS Injectors

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

There is a safer method without having to buy a puller:
after applying some penetrating oil, pry the injector, with a large 
screwdriver, just enough to slide an open-ended 12mm(i think) spanner under 
the union nut on top of the injector.  You can then use the screwdriver 
under the spanner to lever it more or less straight up. I've done it many 
times without problems.
HTH,
