Hydraulic common rail diesel injector removal tool

BBA-Reman Forums

I have got to say that anyone who reckons that WD40 or any other fluid is the remedy for a seriously stuck injector, have not had much experience of injector removal.

Often the problem lies deep within the injector installation, where fluid would take weeks to penetrate (if at all). Usually there is the effect of an electro chemical reaction between the Aluminium of the cylinder head & the Steel of the injector which creates a build up of a deposit that packs in tight, to create a seriously tight grip.

Slide hammers are a waste of time in such cases & a proper pulling tool will be needed. Even then you might find that the effort required to get it moving might cause the injector to break. I have only had to remove one cylinder head on a 1.9 Vivaro, after the injector separated, leaving only a 40mm sleeve tucked deep inside the injector orifice.

I would recommend anyone who is struggling with injector removal, to give Tony a call. He has invested heavily in this area & knows his craft. He has a massive tool too! w00t

Would rather be playing pool. Edited 9/24/2011 5:33:28 PM by AntTheCat
