• Hi again, do you think i can unscrew the aaz injectors with an open wrench forcing at the top of the injector (just below the connection link made from rubber) or will i brake it into? What size of wrench?
  
  Maybe a dumb question but prevention....
  
  thx

• You need a socket. I dont doubt you can do it with a wrench but your really going to stress out the injector boss's that way and risk breaking.

• don't take the injector apart right there, take it loose at the base.
  
  27mm
  or
  1 and 1/16 inch
  
  socket
  
  make sure your force is ALWAYS applied TOWARDS the head - NOT towards the radiator - whether loosening or tightening the injectors.
  
  and don't accidentally forget that ! 
  it could cost you another head.
