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!

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.

Nothing fishy....I hammered the bearings! It's coming out for bearings, oil pump etc.

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.

Ahhh ok. 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?

Nahhh...I would do anything like that
I figured I better do it right, I'm going to yank it out and check everything right. Of course I can't guarentee everything going back the way I it came out

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