You do have an injector puller made up right? Here's what I made from Jay Leonards pic here.

Nope, I sure don't. After reading the other forums VADTR day I think I may hold out until next sat. They all seem to have a lot of experience with this stuff.

Say bgilbert, I want to make me an injector puller too, what is readily available for threads matching the top threads on the injector? I have not even measured the threads for size and pitch yet.

The job was made easy with the simple injector puller I made last week at work. I simply welded a 12mm x 1. 5 nut (injector top thread) to a 3/8-16 nut. Add a 12 inch piece of 3/8 threaded rod (I have a bunch at home), another 3/8 nut, and a drilled out piece of bar, and you have a puller. I started with a shorter piece of rod, but this length gets the injector out in about 5 whacks... also is short enough to get number 6. Pic in my reader's rigs.

Thats how I did it. 3/8" all thread. You can use a big socket or old hammer head for the slide hammer.

Scott,



That's NOT fair!! I have never broken anything I didn't actually touch! :-laf



And YOU were the one who taught me that a good mechanic always has parts left over. But why is it that YOU always get to keep those parts???



Chris,



I don't know that I could get down that way anytime soon. But if you really need me, let me know. BTW, I was out at a vacant house on Fox Branch Rd the other day. Btween Dinwiddie and Carson.
