Fuel Injector Removal
Anyone have any ideas or tips on how to remove a stubborn fuel injector from a VE? I have one on the #3 cylinder (yes under the damn intake plenum) that just doesn't want to come out. Any tried and true techniques for removal you'd like to share? I've tried PB Blaster, spinning, wiggling, etc.... I'm ready to drill the SOB out!!! Help!!!!

i had a tough time with this too. i wrapped mine in cloth and then used locking vice grips to get a firm, but not firm enough to break the plastic, grip on the rectangular plastic block (the widest direction - so as to not be touching the plastic around the pins), took a lot of fine adjusting to get it just right, then held the vicegrip low near the plug and wiggled and pulled till it popped. u did depressurize the fuel system right? well its too late now anyway.

Yes, I did depressurize the fuel system by pulling the fuel pump fuse and cranking the engine a few times. Maybe not enough though. I did the same thing with the vise grips, but used those ratching pliers from sears without the cloth (dumb) and I was starting to break the plastic block on the old injector. That is when I started to get worried and thought I would post to see what others have done. Thanks for the responses.
