pulling 85 8v injectors

[killmurder_@hotmail.com (Jerry Carter)]

wiggle it, just a little bit.

I have never used a tool to pull an injector in my life, but I've always got 
them out within 5 min. of trying. it's all a matter of wiggleing it while 
you pull. WD-40 might help, but I've never had to use any.

And before you go saying that I've never had a problem one, I just did the 
ones on the '82 that have never had the injectors out of it before I came 
along. I ended up ripping one of the O-rings apart, but I got the injector 
out! Silicone spray is suposed to help as well.
