Injector Install


Recommended Posts

Yeah Funny enough the only real issues I had was with the VP44 end. The sets of 3 lines 1,2,4 and 3,5,6 The middle bolt is hard to get to as its blocked off by other two on each side - so I found it real hard to get anything on it to tighten/loosten. I was using a stubby wrench - but still not enough clearance - must be a better way ???

Use a less stubby wrench.. Or you could put a gearwrench on the nut before you put the line on and tighten it up, then just leave the wrench hanging on the line for next time :lmao:

Got the +75's in ...... nice :thumbup2:

Enough power to notice - will have to see what happens on cruise trips for MPG.

Found a couple guys installing injectors without doing anything but loosening injectors lines at head - prying connector tubes 1/4" out and replacing injector 1x at a time being careful.

Saves SOOO much effort. Going to try it sometime. Good to know.

Now just need a HX35 ...........

--- Update to the previous post...

Funny I got the pump end totally figured out with standard open end wrench...

Whats your wrench look like - and how do you get it onto the middle line at vp44 end (of each set of 3) and have enough room to turn. With my stubby - I can just get it on - but I have to flex the other lines (already off) of the 3 part set in order to turn it.

It was worse going back on.

Was thinking about shaving down the outer curve of my wrench to give me a few more mm on each side clearance.
