Hello. I did a search but didn't find anybody with a similar problem. I recently replaced both head gaskets (big job for me, took a long time!). Everything seems to be working ok, but one of the fuel injectors is leaking fuel where it plugs into the rail.
I was able to remove the rail to do the HG job, but I haven't been able to get the actual injectors out. No matter how hard I pull they won't come out.
Does anybody know of any tricks? I'm not a little guy so pulling and pushing things with force isn't usually much of a problem.
Should I pull the rail off again, and then remove the injectors individually? Leave the rail on with the clips in place and pull harder? I don't think I can pull harder, I've been putting a lot of effort into it.
My other option is to just pull the rail off and leave the injectors in, because all I'm doing is putting new O-rings on the top, but I want to take them out just to say I did and to give them a visual inspection. Also if I decide to replace them with the 4-hole Bosch injectors I'll have to take them out at that point.
Thanks!
