Gas in the oil, HELP :(

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I generally put a vise grip on the nut part of the injector, good and tight, 
and then pry on the vise grip against the valve cover with a biggassed screw 
driver.
I'm guessing your injector seals (chubby little orings) are old and brittle 
making it hard to pull the injectors and will also need to be replaced.
I also believe GAP has a tool:
