HELP: injector air shroud cone came off

[Bob Rossato]

How long can it possibly take to bend a piece of wire and try pulling out
the insert...3 minutes?  We're not talking long convoluted passageways that
you have to thread this through.  Not a whole lot of energy required.  It
will take longer to drink the victory beer afterwards. If it doesn't come
out then you're back to taking out the manifold, like I said in my original
post.
