Subject:      still can't pull CIS injectors!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Happy holidays to all,

I'm sending another cry for help. I've almost finished my conversion (thanks to many folks on this list) but still can't quite finish up due to a faulty #3 injector. I managed to pull #1 and #2, but #3 and #4 just won't budge. I've bent my VW special tool, a piece of steel I cut just for the job, and a whole bunch of screwdrivers. Today I took off the valve cover in order to get some more room on it, but although I can get a lot of leverage, still no go. It's been doused more times than I can remember with WD-40 but that hasn't helped either. Does anyone have any advice? Pull the lower insert? Heat it with a blow torch (yes, that's a joke...)

Any advice would be appreciated... so close, so very close...
