I had good luck spraying them with WD-40/prenatrating oil or simular and twist a few times with a light grip from large vice grips. I then insert a huge screw driver thru the gap of the open jaws and injector and pry up lightly with the screw driver. You will slightly mark the plastic and could potential do worse to the plastic. But my damage was superfical. I didn't see any special tool that was affordable, so removing the intakes and pressing out is better if you dont' like my first idea.

It takes special tool to remove injectors without destroying them.
There are many fuel injector cleaning companies all around USA, much
better deal than buying new ones
they replace O-rings and caps and give you complete report about before
and after flow rate

However did you manage to dismantle the darned things? I spent hours
trying to removed the injectors from their seatings but gave up in the
end lest I damaged them. Also, where did you find the replacement
rubbers? Be a good idea to buy some in before I attempt another
dismantling session!

Subject: Re: [subaruvanagon] Fuel Injector choices...
fwiw,
I have not found them to wear or be faulty in any way ever.
what I have found is them stuck from sitting for years with fuel in
them...and I was able unstick them.
I have also found the o-ring in the bottom of the bowl the injector sits
in deterorated and cracked..
which will lead to flooding of that cylinder anytime there is fuel
pressure.
It 'looks' like a leaking fuel injector, but it isn't really.
I suspect many have been replaced, thinking it's a leaking injector,
when it's just the o-ring in the bottom of the bowl.
I had to make an injector holder/tester out of an old SVX fuel rail to
be able to test them easily ..
sort of like one can on a waterboxer engine.
once cleaned, treawted, and working smoothly ..the produce a very nice
twin spray pattern .
I don't trust rebuilt fuel injectors very much myself.
I doubt anything is as good as a genuine subaru fuel injector.
plus I don't think they really go bad anyway ...original ones. They
just need cleaning and treating.

Hello All, Does anyone have a choice fuel injector to go with for a
'93 2.2 legacy engine? Opinions on Beck Arnley, Subaru OEM, GB or
Bosch. Or any I havent mentioned. Then new vs. rebuilt/remanufactured?
Any opinions would be great? Thanks.
