Hi All,

After getting excited removing all 4 injectors due to an excessive smoking issue, I am faced with a headache. The seals won't budge, I am using a wire coat hanger as described in another thread but can't get the seals to budge.

Photos attached, any help much appreciated.

Video of the smoking also attached, you can see where it turns from black/greyish to about bluish.

OK got m8 thread bar and it was a hassle removing them until I broke it into 2 parts since it was too long. The angle from the break causes a cross thread on the seals and 3 of them pulled out with minimal hassle.

There is one ***** soaking in WD40

 

Unconventional methods alright 🙂👀

Unconventional method prevail in the end (m10 rod) .... That was one tough son of a gun and on same cylinder I got error from injector value test on Techstream 😏. I hope that's the cause of my issue, next step get injectors tested and new seals.
