Back story:
Friend brought me his truck, wouldn't run, blowing air into passengers side fuel line. I pulled the first three injectors on that head and they looked good. Went to pull the last one and the hold down was loose, obviously not torqued properly when injectors were replaced. When I threaded the hold down bolt out the injector was so stuck the bolt forced it's way up through the hold down instead of pulling the injector. I took a week to think about/research the stuck injector, found no help in the usual places. That's why I'm posting this, it's rare I don't find answers to all my 6.0 questions here.
I Found a thick washer, 1/4" thick or so. Tapped the center 7/16-20 and drilled two holes to attach it to the injector after removing the solenoid(two T15 screws). Attached my threaded adaptor onto the injector with the two t15's, then using a piece of 1/4"X2" steel with a 7/16 hole drilled in it as a bridge across the head I threaded the 7/16 bolt into the injector, I thought the sleeve was going to come out with the injector, it bent the 1/4 plate quite a bit before it let go. Copper washer was present, sleeve looks serviceable after a lot of time cleaning it. I hope to have her running again tomorrow.

This was my first set up, I actually had to shim up the bottom side 1/2" because the valve cover rails aren't on the same plane.
Pic of the nasty injector, use a torque wrench when installing injectors!
