Hi All
I have a stuck injector, see picture!
The head of the injector had to be cut off in order to remove the cam cover and get to the head bolts.
It would not come out with an injector removal tool - wouldn't budge at all.
I have soaked it in carb cleaner for days and have had a 24" spanner on it and can't loosen it or rotate.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I attempt a last resort of drilling it out? I'm a little worried about doing this and damaging the head.
Many thanks
