Before you pull the injectors run the engine for 5 to 10 minutes and spray
some penetrating oil around the seal area this helps a whole bunch. My .02

injector or injured hand!  I bought the tool after breaking an injector on
my jetta. (that was fun, the o rings had turned to stone, I tried to pull
the injector with a screw driver, then with vise grips.  The top of the
injector popped out, leaving the lower half stuck in the head)  I just
pulled the injectors on my Scirocco and it was easy using the tool, but I
still bent the screwdriver used to pry on the tool.  Those o rings weren't
quite stone, but they sure put up a fight.  Rubber is just not ment to live
in the head of an engine for 15 years.
