You used both halves? Lever from where?
This is going to be so much fun!!
Torque wrench(s) I have.
At Least I am working from home Mon to Wed.

I'm not sure if you understand Russian, but like this

Да, как ни странно, я бы сказал вам, как и почему, но тогда мне пришлось бы убить вас.
As it happens a mate of mine married a Russian lady. AKA the mad psycho bitch.

I didn't think you hook in on the spring part.

What size is crank shaft bolt, I assume you use that to rotate the engine to clear the injector cams.

I think a 5 or 6mm long arm Allen key will pop them out, in fact I know it will, just can't remember the correct size!

No, don't hook it under the spring, hook it under the injector body.

Mine just cleared the camshaft lobe... probably just got lucky.

Hook under the solid bridge between th acturer and spring. There is no injector lobe, it's electronically fired, not mechanically.

with the cam on number 1 , you will be able to remove injectors 3, 4, and 5, then you'll need to rotate the engine about 90 degrees to remove 1 and 2, 24mm socket for harmonic balancer bolt

No.
Bro bought an injector removal slide hammery thing .. couldn't get it to fit in any way without making (ie. welding up) an adapter.
We used a pair of pipe wrench type pliers(not the screw down type).
Separated the two halves of the vice pliers, and the hooked shape of the half fit nicely in and under the injector to assist it sliding out.
Not ideal way to do it, as you risk forcing the injector sideways, but with care just to 'jimmy' it enough to break the crusty grip, and they came out 'quite easily'.

Your engine sounds like it's in 'normal good condition'(probably not all crusted up and so forth) .. so they probably won't be stuck hard.

We did replace the bolts.
