A couple of questions:-

1) Do I need the 'special tool'? If not, what is the best method for getting the injectors out?
2) If I do need the special tool, where do I get one? A quick google hasn't been overly fruitful.
3) I know the injectors have to go back in the same hole, but if I was to replace them for whatever reason how do I code them back to the ECU? Will a nanocom/hawkeye/lynx do the do?

Thanks.:)
 
I used a 18" length of m10 threaded rod with a nut on one end and a unistrut rail nut on the other. Hook the rail nut under the injector and use like a slide hammer with a heavy tool, or just fork out for a cheap slide hammer. Quite an easy job to do, just be clean around the injector holes. Make sure you replace the copper washer AND the O rings. Not sure about coding the injectors though.

Cool, slide hammer it is. I'm not sure what a unistrut rail nut is and google doesn't help much! I'm sure it's obvious if you know though.

So, just so I'm sure - hook something under the injector and give it a yank and it should come right out?
 
Just done mine used a 6mm allen key with the short end ground to an angle.timing marks behind top sprocket to set each inj.where you located.
 
Did mine with a home made tool, piece of 25 mm steel, bent into a long 'N', small lip at the bottom facing inward, for hooking under the injector

Threaded rod through the top , bit of steel pipe on the rod and a big washer an nut at the top, - home made slide hammer

No need to re-code either, just lay them out on a bench and don't muddle them up

The lifters need reset though, screw them home on full lift, then back off a full turn

use genuine seals, and make sure all is spotlessly clean

takes about an hour

cheers
