Re: Injector Removal



They just pull out using a small pry tool, I got mine from one of the
vw/audi specialty tool places.  I think there is on listed on the q-vendors
list. If you don't find it I will dig up my catalog. They are dificult to
pull when the o-rings have hardened, be sure to pic up new ones.
