I finally have all 4 injectors out - 3 of them intact.
To get the injectors out of a 1KZTE you need a 21mm deep socket that is not from Halfords. The Halfords sockets are too narrow on the inside to fit over the 19mm part of the injector. I thought "no worries, I'll just undo the 19mm part and then the 21mm socket will fit" - obviously at this point it hadn't occurred to me how I would torque the serviced injectors back up again. As the top part of the injector came away in my hand the whole world went into slow motion just as I saw that there was a spring inside... and I couldn't stop my hand from continuing to remove the top part. Ping! and the spring disappeared into the dark nether world below just as I regained motor control of my hands... Dom donner! After a frustrating half hour with an extendible magnet tool and an engine bay that turns out is full of magnetic things, I gave up. Hopefully the injector place knows what else followed the spring out and have some spares.
