clean around inj. bodies(air) spray some PB Blaster or Kroil oil around them night before. I use a older slide hammer dent puller. Put a 1/4" bolt thru a inj. line cap into the slider hammer cap then thread on to inj. you want to pull(head must be bolted on engine or to something heavy) normally 2-3 pulls they're out. Tried it once with head on the ground, played with it for hours gave up come back later still no luck bolted it back on block. 5 minutes all inj out. I've had my slide hammer for many years. I see the newer ones are lighter weight. I think mine is 4-5 lbs.

I got 3 of the 4 out with channel locks, with out too much trouble.

I eventually got number 4 too, but it was a lady of the evening.

<------shaking head... why did you not twist it with a wrench? think 17m fits it perfect.. even has the curve of th einjector body to fill the curve of the wrench.. seriously.. they made ot use a wrench on them..

I read that the injector nozzles have some small pins that align them to the injector body. If the nozzle itself is stuck and you twist the body with a wrench all the force is put on those small pins potentially breaking them. If you break em you need to replace the injector body.
That said, I used the wrench method to remove my injectors in my TDI head.

The tip and top portion of the injector are separated by clamping that 17mm area and unscrewing the tip.  My one caveat for trying to undo them with a wrench is that you should always rotate CW or you run the risk of unscrewing the two parts of the injector.

When this happens.. good luck getting the rest of the injector out lol.

I went to oreillys and bought a big slidechammer and made an adapter out of 2 nuts and a welder. this way I can keep the adapter and return the slide hammer when I'm done. I like the rental tool feature helps keep down the clutter in my garage.

I made my own using spare Vw parts kicking around the shop. The only part not pictured is a 02A flywheel for more weight.
