    Yes, unbolt pipe from fuel rail. Lift injector and pipe out and then you can get a spanner on the injector.

    Hi, You can try to remove the injector with the metal pipe. Replace the injector including the metal pipe. Use an injector extractor tool, injectors are a pain to remove. Regards.

    Hi, The pipes should not be fully inserted in the bottle so you can see if it’s an intermittent or continuous flow. Injector 2 has too much leakback compared to others, needs to be replaced.

    It runs fine or not ? If not and espacialy with starting issue and rought idle, can be injectors related. A leak back test is your best option.

    Hi, You should do a fuel return test. Certainly the injectors are dead, cleaning injectors won’t help. When you had the injectors removed, you put them in the same place ? More than 2 mm3 fuel compensation is too much. Regards

    Hi, You have 2 cylinders that are totally out of balance, certainly 2 dead injectors. Do a leak back test, to spot the clogged injectors.

    I don't like clutch hydraulics, if the pedal behaving oddly once, it can happen again any time soon. If you know how to shift gears with no clutch pedal, it's ok. But it's better to get it checked by a professional.
