Help please! Injector decoupling elements stuck.

[alxpunk]

Gentlemen,

I'm looking for a tip/trick to remove the decoupling elements that attach to the injectors. The car is currently in the shop, they've given up and are instead recommending a complete cylinder head replacement at a cost of $11k.



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here's a pic of the injector port, it's almost impossible to differentiate between the cylinder head and the decoupling element.

Maybe find a new shop cause isn't that a photo of the spark plug port... not going to find anything in there. Check the injector port:

That is the injector port, the spark plug port is on the top... not even close on the S63.

LOL Odd that they would put the ignition coil alignment notch for the injectors, but good luck with the $11k head. Added some photos for your reference.
