Hdi injector removal.....

[Jimbo]

Right so my injectors are noisy not surprising they had done 182k
So I bought some 40k ones off jonny on here.
Now I have.managed to fit three of them no problem, with new seals etc.
It has quietened down alot with thw three fitted

Now the 4th (gearbox end) is stuck in the head. So far I have tried

Soaking in penetrating oil
Getting engine hot
Running the engine with the clamp off
Pry bar underneath

Now im still soaking it but.slowly running out of ideas
Any help apreciated

Cheers james

Hammer.

Hammer.

Dont think so somehow

[darrenjlobb]

Slide hammer to top of injector

[Jimbo]

Slide hammer to top of injector

Does that involve dismantling the injector?
Where you connect.slide hammer?

[mcglynn]

Yeah dont think a slide hammer would work without dissassembling a hdi injector as the fuel union isnt central/doesnt point upwards

[Jimbo]

Yeah I cant see how without taking it apart...

[cully]

soak it in plus gas and run the car with a loose clamp it will eventualy blow out

I did try this quickly, might.drive it back from work with.it loose should get the fucker out

[mcglynn]

May sound silly but I take it you have tried them for rotary movement? I wiggle mine side to side and usually have to lift the clamp while lifting the injector or it gets stuck.

May be something to remember if using a pry bar

[Jimbo]

Sorry shud have mentioned I cant get any side to side movement either. It really is siezed

[mcglynn]

I woukd try for the side to side with a big spanner on the top before doing anything else.

If your using your pry bar id make sure the clamp is lifted a little or it gets caught on the stud.

Even better, double nut method to get the stud out and then work on the injector

I was being serious with a hammer!

They're not as delicate as you think lol, look at the abuse the engine gives them on a daily basis! I've always given them a tap round if they're stuck.

The best way is a slide hammer/puller in the groove where the clamp usually goes, that's how they'll be removed at the dealers, orat least that's how VW ones are removed at the dealers lol.

[darrenjlobb]

I just made a tool to slide hammer them, but normally spinning / levering them steady and carefully will get them out...the 8v ones dont tent to get that stuck...

[Jimbo]

Ok darren tbh I havent gone that hard at it yet, dont want it breaking because its not essential to atm because its running ok. But wen I next have a go ill try a bit harder.

Might make a tool for slide hammer as I have spare injectors to mock it up on
Cheers

Just get a big ass spanner around the casting where the inlet union is and give it a twist side to side - it'll go then...

The 8v ones are relatively easy as you can give them side to side action.

[mr_fish]

are you sure you don't need a dose of MTFU?

serious note though...tap it side to side and get a bit of sideways movement on it. Had vehicles of the agricultural variety before with the same issue.

I see no mention of WD40...

Should literally be able to turn back and forth a few times, bar underneath and pry out...

[Jimbo]

Ive used plenty of wurth penetrating shit.
Not being funny mark I no how and that it should
But the bastard just wont.
I can always come to yours one night?

[mr_fish]

Calm down :-P

Yeah go for it. The sod's guna come out one way or another

[Jimbo]

Ideal ill whattsapp u

[Poodle]

If it's turning it's most of the way there, maybe try running the engine with the clamp off again.

[darrenjlobb]

Yeah could try that trouble being will the hard injector pipe allow it to come up much??
