n55 stuck injector in the cylinder head? due corrosion or just a stubborn one, here's a tip on how I pulled this one out . Hopefully this helps some out.
Add me to the "same" list. I got a 2011 x5 xdrive35i and when you look at the spark plugs you can clearly see that something's not right with 5 & 6. I changed spark plugs recently and thought the #6 plug was going to snap, thankfully it came out but that whole area is rusty. Been dreading going back and messing with anything involving the rear engine compartment since I had to replace my valve cover. I tell ya, I never knew that I had to become a BM-Double-U mechanic to try and figure out what's wrong with it. I mean it's pretty but DAMN!! I do need to replace the injectors though, thanks for the video dude... about the best one that I've seen so far and it's actually the same as mine. 👍
I’m stuck in the same dilemma with #5 and #6. Both injector heads snapped. Had no luck with the slide hammer. I’m going to try an air hammer next. I was able to cut M7 threads on the stem with a die. I’m going to screw on some nuts to get a grip and hopefully pry them out. Will see how it goes. This will be plan B.
Don't waste your time just weld a nut it to it. And use a slide hammer again... What ever you're thinking about it's only gonna make matters worse. Because you'll create more metal shavings.
