Please could admin make this sticky for all to see and hopefully someone will benefit from it.
This has been covered many times on this site but I thought I'd show you my way of doing it which so far, has never failed to get one out no matter how tight it is. So here we go, a full step by step guide with piccys.
The pics are of a range rover but apart from 2 extra cylinders and the engine fitted the correct way round in the car, the Td6 is identical to the Td4 and the procedure is the same..................
Please note that this will wreck the injector but usually, if you're doing this, you'll be replacing it anyway.
1. with a dot punch and a hammer, tap the nut round on the top of the injector and take the top off (I'm pointing to the nut that needs to be knocked round)
2. you should end up with this........
3. Put the top of the injector in a vice upside down and drill an 8mm hole all the way through, then open up the first part of the hole to 13mm, don't go all the way through but only go in about 10mm or so.
4. Using a 13mm nut (8mm thread) and bolt, pull the nut into the top of the injector till it stops, you should have something like this...........
5. now find a piece of 8mm threaded bar, nuts and a suitable weight to make a slide hammer...........
6. Screw the bar into the top of the injector and screw the top back onto the injector, like so.........
7. Work the slide hammer as hard as you can till the injector comes out, if it doesn't, find a heavier wieght and try again. Don't bother with WD40 as there is a seal half way down and the WD40 won't get to the part thats seized.
8. The reason it's seized is because of this crap build up............
9. here you can see its in the hole too, all this needs to be cleaned out before the new injector can be fitted. You'll also notice that the copper washer is stuck in there too. clean the crap out by scraping with a screwdriver and blowing it out with an airline. once the crap is out, the washer should come out.
And there we have it, like i said, it works every time for me so give it a go if you have a stubborn one and don't forget to keep the old injector top for next time!
