removed mine quite simple really , if you have the rails off the car then carefully put a rag in a vice then on the square edges of the injector turn upside down in the vice and gently close the vice to grip the injector then in a twisting and pulling motion carefully pull out the injector from its cup ,the rubber o ring is causing the seal which can be very tight .
Hope that helps you mate bit crude but worked for me without any damage at all.

Yeah I tried.... one... screwdriver in those holes. But obviously it won't come out like that, due to the angled pressure. I might try to do it tomoz using 2.
If I can't get em out,then I'll try the vice method on Monday. If it don't work, then I'll let you know sj74. Cheers.
Oh and 99gw....

Got 'em out!
Used the vice method. Typically though, one wouldn't come out. So kept it in the vice and prised it with a screwdriver in one of the side holes... POP!!! "Where did it go?!?!"... 2 seconds later, CRACK!!!... The thing had fired out so fast, it hit the ceiling like a ****ing bullet! LOL!
Good thing I remembered to keep my noggin well away from 'the line of fire'!

Totally Baz, as the rails ain't going anywhere - so all the force is vectored into the injectors' favour.
BTW, in my attempts I've deformed (squidged in) the square shoulders of the yellow top halves (in the vice - but I used a cloth though!). Do you reckon Mark @ Lateral will have a problem with that (I'm gonna do the same as you Lee and get them flow-matched to 900cc )...

When i removed my 440's to sell i didnt think into getting them flow matched from lateral so i bought another set having not found any 550's for the right price .
The 2nd set i purchased didnt have any marks on the top of the injector but wouldn't have thought it would be a problem for them if they are damaged they have a few in stock so easily replaced.
Mine are away at lateral now and should be ready end of the week !

Yeah, the damage is only superficial - the injectors' functionality won't be harmed. Plus it's only on 2.
Mark, I'm sure, can concentrate on getting those damaged ones, themselves, flow-matched within the 2%. That way he can return those ones back to me (so that he doesn't have to have them)...
