Injector Dilemma!

I removed my injectors (OM617 - '83 300TD) and had them professionally rebuilt/restored and I want to re-install them. Problem is, only 3 of the five old beveled discs that go in below the injectors came out. Two are still stuck in there. When I removed the injectors they had been way overtightened. Instead of the 90 newton meters torque the specs call for, I had to use a 20" breaker bar with a 24" piece of pipe to break them loose. What's that, 200nm? Who knows, but they were in there. And now I can't get two of the old discs out. I've tried flicking them with a screwdriver and all I've done is nick the center hole up - the discs themselves didn't budge. I left rag corners soaked in solvent stuffed down in there for the last few nights and I'm on my way to try one more time. Any suggestions? Would heat help?

Thank you in advance,
