Fuel injector removal 2011 335i

My injectors seem to be in pretty tight and I bought the special tool off of amazon to be able to remove them and the POS broke and I'm not going to buy another one. Any ideas on other ways to remove the injectors?

I've replaced a few but, never used the specific tools. Just used the oe fuel line still attached to the injector but, disconnected from the rail itself and just pryed it up easy.

Use an open end wrench on the top part of the injector and gently rotate it back and forth to loosen it. Then use the fuel line to pull it up.

That's not the correct special tool. You have the "bottom hold-down device" which calls for a different tool. You're currently using the "top hold-down device" tool. I'm not sure if this is the problem though because it looks like the mounting holes are still available for that tool.

I also used the open-end wrench technique before and it worked well for me.

I appreciate your guys help. I bought a M12x1.50 bold, an extended m12x1.50 nut and a washer and put a wrench through the bolt, screwed it on the injector and slowly hammered it up. Cost $9 and worked perfectly instead of the $40 I spent.
