My FBH saved the day today

Finally got round to swapping my 208,000 mile injectors for a 60,000 mile set, i've had a dodgy one for a while now but Redex has kept it under control till recently
Warmed the car up then started stripping it down, by the time i eventually got round to pulling the injectors it had cooled down considerably and they were not for coming out

So in a flash of inspiration i earthed the FBH and left it running for 15 minutes to warm the engine, went back to it and with a screwdriver tried levering the injectors again.

RESULT!!!! up they popped as easy as anything

Now running as sweet as anything

i was standing there looking at it in desperation when the "i wonder if...." thought occurred, hopefully it'll help someone else out in the future
