Well today was the day. I finally decided to swap in my NOS 9mm Bosch injectors into my motor. The truck has been progressively smoking more and more since I started driving it 18 months ago. And with the help of the DTR I was hoping it was leaking injectors.
I have never done an injector swap..diesel or any other type of motor. So I was researching, and trying to make sure I had everything I needed before I started. I made the injector removal tool from the sticky last week...turned out great and worked even better!!
Here's my removal tool...into it for about $7....
I had to remove all the lines...right from the injector pump to the injectors. I tried doing it with them just pushed aside but it just wasn't working.
The 24mm nuts all came out with little to no problems. I had been soaking them in PB Blaster every night when I came home for the last week or so.
Lines and nuts removed ready for pulling....
So on went the removal tool and they popped out with no problems.
The only problem I had was with clearance. #1 injector I couldn't get the washers past the lifting hook so I had to figure out a way around that. I finally decided on using a 7/8 box end wrench on the base, then putting the removal tool on top of that. That gave me just enough clearance to get the injector out.
#4 injector was tight to get out too, but that was due to the top nut on the removal tool hitting the air horn.
