Question stuck injectors

You could try to loosen the hold down nuts on the injectors a few turns then crank the engine over the compression should pop them free. good luck!

If they are stock injectors, cut a piece of 3/4'' pipe 1-3/8'' long, slip it over the injector then use one of the truck's wheel lug nuts threaded on to the fuel line threads to pull it out.
The pipe will push on the head while the nut pulls on the injector. Works every time.

I used a lug nut with a slide hammer. a few taps or one big one and even the hardest one came out easy.

I removed the fuel lines and the locking nuts from the injectors, then re-installed the fuel lines a couple of threads. I then used a short prybar to pop the injectors out using the head as a fulcrum. I've done this many times and never had any problems removing the injectors. Position the fuel nut so that the bar is under a corner and don't push the bar into the injector body or you may damage the threads.

i used mopar non chlorinated brake cleaner which worked the best it seemed....just a little bit!, and a puller. sometimes hitting the puller with a hammer works.

Tapping on the side of the injector with a hammer and a brass drift sometimes loosens them up too.
