Message	I am replacing one (bad) injector (middle one passenger side) without pulling the plenum (Dremel technique by Robo). I have the two screws out and the top "plate" off. I have been able to twist the injector a few degrees but have not been able to pull it out! The injector is soaking in PB Blaster now. I am masticating the top of the injector but sisnce its bad...who cares. Any other special tools or techniques? Could fuel pressure still be gripping the injector. Any hints/suggestions? Thanks, Tom
