At 69.9mm it's too long - there isn't room to fit any kind of drive between the 
end of the driver and the inlet manifold.  BTDT - Geodore make a very similar 
driver.  Most of the length is in the bit (38.9mm against 31mm for the socket 
body) so I suppose I could chop a bit off - the fuel injector seat is fairly 
shallow.

A pity they don't do a "FAMXS13".

I wound up using a cut-off piece of a Beargrip 13mm in a Langline wrench.  
It's _very_ quick.  The injector seat thread is very fine pitch - it takes a 
good seven or eight turns to get the thing out.  Very tedious with a standard 
60 degree-at-a-time Allen key.

Job's done for the next 100k, though.
