I had to buy a new injector so I performed this procedure on the bad one 
(still need to do it to the remaining injectors in the car) Was easy money. 
I used a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel, made sure I had a good hold on the 
injector, and carefully cut through the crimp sheath. I made one cut along 
the length of the sheath, and then another at the bottom around the 
diameter. A nice easy job, just go slow and make a shallow cut, just deep 
enough to go through the thin metal crimp.
