stuck injector.... need advice asap.
OK so I did all my glow plugs injectors lines and pump. I came to the last injector and despite trying the crowbar and some pb blaster I'm still having no luck. The 1 inch deep socket is 3/8 but I will try to find a 1/2 inch one tomorrow morning. But other than that I'm at a loss.

Let it soak overnight in pb blaster.
Sometimes they just need some time to loosen up. If the bottom is really stuck, sometimes the top unscrews and leaves the rest of the injector still in the engine. If that ends up happening, there is a thread you can search for that shows how you can grind the threads off the top of the injector and use it to pry out the bottom part.
