Turn the engine over by the key.Get someone to do it for you while you cover the injector.The compression should blow it out,finger's crossed.

Sadly it didn't.
I'm going to be away a couple of weeks so will spray more fluid in and try when I get back.

Awww!Was hoping they would fly out like bullets ,they must be really stuck as the force of compression is pretty big ,but i suppose the surface area acted on must be small .and the surface area of seizure large .

"Here's the best and easiest way to remove these stuck injectors (without any special tools): You take the engine covers off, and loosen the two nuts that hold the injector in place. So you should have like 3-4mm between one nut and that metal plate that holds the injector. Do the same for the other nut. Now start the engine and let it idle. While the engine is running watch the injector and listen carefully. When you see the injector shake a bit and also hear a tapping noise, it means that the engine popped the injector out. You can also feel the injector jumping 3-4mm if you put your hand on it. You can also rev the car a bit (under 3500rpm) or take the car for a little ride (if the injector is stubborn). It is best that you stop the engine after the injector pops, because you risk ruining the thread under the bolts. Although you risk ruining the thread, it never happened to me and I have removed many injectors using this procedure. So as the engine warms up and the metal expands, it loosens the grip on the injector, and the engine's compression pops the injector out. Don't forget to grease the injector with graphite grease (which withstands high temperature, white color) when you put it back."
