dunno if this could be the reason but yer piccies reminded me of a similar thing that happened to me.
i was doing the head on a fiat(ah think it wur a fiat) anyway the head wint come orf and i had it suspended as you have and still it wint budge.
it was during one of my jumping up and down on the wing sessions that i noticed one of the head studs moving.
on closer examination i found the problem.
some **** had snapped a manifold stud, drilled it out and re-tapped it. going straight into the head stud. so there was no way it was coming off like that. once i took the manifold stud out the head jumped off.
so maybe they have tightened a manifold stud onto the injector

top plastic cover £235 injectors £175 each ( most likely get damaged in process total cost £1200, on a 105k engineThe previous post is a good idea but why havent you just removed the whole head
A gasket is cheaper than a new engine and much easier to do.
Get the head off remove the injector and replace in one full day
guarantee that if you only replace the one injector the other three will do the same after a short while....!

yep! thtas my worry
Was going to suggest removing head anyway, just so you could get the pleasure of tapping the fecker with a drift and sledge hammer.
BUT, in the link below, guy had similar probs with a merc and he welded a 3/4 drive socket onto the injector and screwed the bugger out in a clockwise direction. Worth a pop?
