[urq] Removing baked injector inserts from a WX head

[Thatcher Hubbard]

Okay, now I'm starting to worry then.  I can twist them pretty easily but
the never come out any further.  It's like they're press fit in, with a
ridge somewhere on the injector holder.  I guess I'll just cut 'em out with
an Olfa knife.  I'm not worried about damaging the head, just trying to do
it the fast way.  I've had my car off the road long enough, I want to get
this thing back together and going again.

It's 13 mm .
They are very tight sometimes .
Audi used some kind of locktite when they put them in .
