Grind the threads off the top piece of the injector, that screws into the head,then thread the injector back together. You can usually break the carbon deposit loose this way.

Grind the upper threads off of the old one like mentioned above and insert it in the bore and turn it clockwise and gently pull up it will come right out.

Grinding the big threads off works. That's what I did.
