When cleaning the IIM I broke injector def
I broke the injector diffuser in the IIM. Is it possible to remove this little part and reuse? I have a broken Spare IIM I could take one from. I was thinking heating the IIM in the oven and seeing it it would slide out. How much heat can the diffuser take. seems to be some type of fiber material.

you can get them out.this is where you can get replacements: http://www.mazdatrix.com/c-6.htm
Now if you try heating the manifold..NO!!!!
try this it works for me;Spray ALOT of lube in the diffuser hole while the diffuser is in the manifold.see if you can make the diffuser Move,rotate it in the hole.
spraying lube to it is best, as what you are trying to do is lube the O-Rings that hold the diffuser in the manifold.
I use my Pinky and put it in the diffuser and gently start workin the diffuser up and out.
It does take some finesse but it does come out.
DO not use Heat or anything that will break plastic..Gentle but persistent is Key here!
