What engine is this for?

 

If it's the 16v's the sleeves are threaded on the outside and screw into the lower part of the manifold. If you look inside the copper sleeve has a large hex pattern inside them - you'd basically need a large hex / allen type bolt (think it's 13mm but don't old me to that) and you should then be able to unscrew them.

 

Obviously you need to remove the injector first... :)

13mm - you can make a tool from an M8 Bolt and 2 nuts lockked together.

cheers guys. i actually had a 13mm allan key, sosorted there. the injector sleeves were really stiff to get out. but soak them in wd40. and they came off. well thats me just swapped my 42mm manifold for a 50mm. a fair bit more top end power. not to tourqie though :(
