On my Alfa diesel, 2 are stuck. I have cleaned out all dirt with a dental pick, made a nozzle for the vacuum and it’s all clean, they will not move. The internal diameter seems to be identical to the hole on the casing, I tried to lift them out with the pick, there is nothing to get under. Found a piece of dowel, put that in and whacked with a rubber mallet, trying to shock them loose, still nothing. Any suggestions ?  |

The proper tool is a small slide hammer with a easy out on the end.

There is not really a bad tar build up.
Currently have a metal tube superglued on each seal, ya never know, picking up some proper picks tomorrow.
I don’t think an easy-out would have anything to grip onto.

I don’t think an easy-out would have anything to grip onto. They wind into the copper washer. It's what we use at work it always gets them out even when they've been blowing for god knows how long and theres a lot of carbon buildup. www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-5450-Diesel-Injector-Puller/dp/B00FZJO2QE |

I normally press a long flathead screwdriver down onto one side of the seal, then a good sharp whack with a hammer will dislodge the seal.

Tried screwdriver and a whack.
Nothing can wind into the washer, the internal diameter hole is exactly the same as the injector hole.
09.15 today, been and inspected actually wearing my glasses, the 2 stuck ones seem slightly different to the ones that came out with the injectors.
As I know the previous owner paid to have work done that did not get done very well I suspect that 2 have been replaced, attempts have been made on 2 and then left.
