injector removal which method worked for you ?
i have been here before i have removed a set of injectors on my old engine but this engine which replaced the one with the broken crank now requires the injectors taking out and replacing, (they are tight)
i have tried pulling them out with a piece of studding pulling on the top piece of the injector using several pieces off wood 4x2, all that happened was after applying a lot of pressure ( big bang) i pulled out the top of the injector ,
so after reading a few posts,i have plans A, B, and C
plan A,- lots of easing fluid leaving them to soak, then slackening off the studd nuts a little at a time and cranking the engine
plan B- using the top nut of the injector make up a slide hammer
plan C- making a puller using a 4 ton hydraulic jack and studding and jack them out.
what has worked for you ,or do you have and other ideas ?
