Some protect their valve cover from damage with a flat piece of wood or
metal. ;-)

If you're any damn good at it, a Big Damn (TM) Screwdriver will get them out
quite nicely in under 2 minutes for all five. I found the Official
Factory-by-God VW/Audi 'puller tool' that Jim Blau lent me to be totally
useless.

Thank You - Audi-Friends for the input!

One way or the other...I'll get them out!

I had trouble when I tried to remove one a long time ago in my KV-engined
coupe quattro. I managed it just recently (I'm stripping the engine for a
rebuild) but the thing that made the biggest difference was rather than
using one pry-bar or screwdriver, I used two on advice from my mate whose
workshop the car is at. This evens up the pressure to pull the injector out
straight rather than at an angle. With two standard pry-bars the injectors
came out without too much trouble. They were also quite loose in their seats
prior to removal. The car is 1986, around 270,000 miles on it.

HTH
Mike.
