Subject:still can't pull CIS injectors!
From:Matt Ratto
Date:Mon, 30 Dec 2002 15:33:04 -0800

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...

Matt
