Hi Listers!

I wanted to ask the "tech guys" over here (like Huw and the others) what's 
the procedure for the valve guides R&R on a 10 valve cylinder head. I've 
seen in the archives that someone once destroyed a 5k NA head trying to 
remove the guides...
How do I do it correctly and how do I refit the new ones afterwards?
Another question: how can I get those d*mn injector inserts out of the 
head???? I have the correct size (11mm) hex key, one is out but the four 
others won't move, I ve even somewhat destroyed the hex-shaped fitting but 
those s**tty plastic bits won't move a 60th of a turn!!
Help! Do I have to completely destroy them or simply heating the area will 
help me do the job?

As always, thanks in advance for the help and the answers,

Regards from sunny Belgium,

Mihnea Cotet
