If it's bubbling out the thread of the injector, you have a leaking (or missing or upside-down) heat shield, pull injector and renew.

If its leaking around the prechamber, you will have to pull it. There is a seal at the base, thickness dependent upon correct prechamber protrusion into the head. I would borrow or rent the factory tool, it works much better. Certainly do not use a chisel to remove the hold-down ring, it won't go back in correcly or at the correct torque, and this will likely lead to the same problem you have.
