Stuck injector, how to remove it from the Hyundai Matrix with DIY tools.

Model: Hyundai Matrix MK 1 - Years 2001-2010
Part: Fuel injectors

Video tutorial
Detailed instructions - On the Hyundai Matrix engine, the removal of a stuck injector is performed with the vehicle turned off, working in a clean and safe manner. Access is cleared by removing necessary covers and components, and the well is carefully cleaned to prevent the entry of impurities. The electrical connector and the diesel return line are disconnected, sealing the ends. After loosening the retaining clip/bracket, the extractor is applied, keeping the line of pull aligned with the injector; before extraction, it is useful to apply penetrating lubricant and apply progressive tension until it is freed. Once extracted, the well hole is sealed, the copper washer is removed and replaced, and the seat is cleaned. Finally, the connections are restored, and the integrity of the wiring and return line is checked in preparation for reassembly or replacement.
