Hi all, bit of general advice needed on 3.0 (Bosch?) diesel injector removal. Car is running like a cement mixer at the moment, no.6 injector appears to have gone, a diagnostic & compression test seems to make it almost certain, so it has to come out! The "how to" posted here gives some pics of the method, but having done some more research, it seems that a dedicated removal tool of some kind makes the job a bit easier. There are several different types of removal tool available, I'm wondering if anyone has used the slide hammer type that seems prevalent? Also, what size is the removal socket (with the cutout for the injector connection), suggestions please?

thanks
Paddy
