rather than WD-40 try something like 'Break-Free' ( Break-Free - Products: Lubricant Preservative) I've used this stuff for lots of bolts/nuts etc that were solid. Left for a day or two it works wonders. I've always found WD-40 to be pretty crap except for use on the ignition system when it's wet.

try putting vinegar instead of oils as its acidic it will eat the rust

Well I can certainly say that the injector is no longer stuck, in fact the Landy is topless now and becoming more so as I pull it apart to put it on it's new chassis.

when i worked as a hgv fitter turning the engine over to remove injectors was dangerous but effective because its a solid force acting on it, take el slobbo's advice and crank that puppy.

It's a useful tip for the future if they ever get stuck again. Unfortunately I've got to wait until after my trip to America and my hospital stay to do more on the Landy. Going to try and sort out the engine before moving it to the new chassis.

If the injector is still stuck, then the wee tappy four-ounce pin-hammer and lots of patience will get it out.

Let us know if the thing has still to be released.

The injector came out a long time ago, did get stuck temporarily a few weeks ago but got them out with the tool that dad put together.
