When I had a mk 3 I had to make up a tool to add to a slide hammer to get number 4 out this was the old type and need a lot of force on my later mk3 with stanadine pencil injectors I bought the Ford tool for removing them and broke it on number 4 I ran it for a month with the clamp off and used wd40 and outher releasing agents and still no good this was when motorsport was shut down due to foot and mouth so van was stood I decided that it was going to come out even if the head had to come off and yes it snapped off removed the head to find 4 cracked pistons so if your van is running ok leave it alone.
