I got mine out but it was a struggle the first time. I suggest liberal amounts of WD40 then get the car hot. Then I left the fuel feed pipe on the injector and with a jimmy bar under the union prided while tapping it backwards and forwards lightly with a small hammer - be careful because the jimmy can damage the cam cover so protect it under the bar. Does this make sense?
