Message So I usually use a vice grip on the heads of the screws with some pb in a vice. Replace them all with hex after.

I've gotten them out plenum in with a screwdriver and tapping the butt of the driver with a hammer, but then removing the injector is another issue. There's only so much wiggle room between the plenum. I've had the top of an injector come off on me numerous times in which you're basically forced to plenum pull.

What other methods do you use? Maybe our climate in Canada adds to the difficulties in removing the screws.

Maybe for replacing one injector, it's worth trying to get it off plenum in, but for a full set, the time it will take will outlast the time of a plenum pull.
