They all break. The best way I found to remove the plugs with the least amount of breakage is by pulling ONLY! I've broken many of them trying to pry them off and or pry and pull.
BTW - I upgrdaded to the Honda style fuel injector plugs. MUCH Better! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

A set of assorted Craftsman picks will do the trick. They look like dentist's tools basically and help with those jobs where you don't have a tool small enough. Cost is about $15

I pull the clips out with needle nose pliers. Once you do that, the injector plugs pop right off.

I used to try all those things and my brittle injector plugs broke somewhere new every time. Once I finally resorted to pulling them straight off...they remained in descent shape. Just my .002.

Cost is about $15 those little devils were my favorite tools for about a month! they always remind me of either (A) an icepick like I used in prison to keep my punks in line and let them know the big daddy boss jocker won't put up with them getting jive, or (B ) the thing embalmers use to scramble and extract brains through peoples noses when they get mummified. Yes, I'm demented. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

I thought you were trying to pull a fast one on me. I thought you said you were going to try and replace the main bearings and bolt everything back up? -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

My 2g has push clamps on the sides of the injector plug. Much easier to remove!
-------------------- Thanks, Bud!
