Re: Broken Injector Sleve on A100 2.2.




if indeed it is rounded, try a plumbers/broken bolt extractor of the 
proper size.  and if no-go...remove the intake manifold; split the sleeve 
with a die grinder with burr or a Dremel with two opposite axial slits to 
the root diameter of the treads and the sleeve will virtually fall out.

Good luck,
Phil
