A suggestion if you want to save some money!



Once you get the fuel lines loose, use a flat head screw driver and secure it well against one of the threads on the male fuel connector then pry the connector out (be sure not to mutilate the threads or tear the little rubber o ring)

Now to remove the injectors, use one of the Intake Horn (Air intake arm) bolts they thread right into the top of the Injector and you simply pull the injector up! (of course after you remove the injectors retaining piece, re tighten the injector retaining clamp bolts to 8-11 Newton Meters)

You can order a catalog of Chrysler service tools from SPX -Miller.

Their phone # is 800-801-5420.

But the two tools you listed, you really don't need them. I've installed many sets of 24Valve injectors without ever using those tools. (an injector removal tool for the 12Valve engines is usually a major convenience, though)

You can find a pair of long, needle-nose pliers with angled tips at AutoZone or any Lowe's or Home Depot.

Use a bolt from the intake air horn that you removed, threaded into the top of the injector, and the pliers turned upside-down against the bolt in a lever-type action, and it'll pop right out, without a lot of force. You'll need to pull back the connector tube slightly as you pry out the injector.

The money, in my opinion, would be better spent on a torque wrench and 19mm crowsfoot wrench for tightening the fuel lines. (you also need a shop manual for your truck, it lists the torque specs )

Tip: Do not use the flare nut fitting to pull the fuel line towards the connector tube, when re-installing the fuel lines. Instead, hold the fuel line seated in the bowl of the connector tube, as you snug down the flare nut. They can go off-center rather easily and get deformed when you tighten down the nut with a wrench.

You can borrow mine

Joe - Pretty sure that I kept my set (sold the 99) and your more than welcome to borrow them.



Are you thinking of doing your injector install before Christmas?

Every guy wants the right tool for the job, but how many times are you going to change injectors?

I used one of the bolts that secure the injector to the head. I screwed it in the center and pulled the injector out with my hands. Two of them needed persuading so I made a cantilever out of two screw drivers pried on the bolt mention before and got it started. I then pulled it out with my hands.

Sorry if guys like me offer alternative methods when you question was stated clearly.

Just trying to share ideas.

Torque wrench/Crow's foot

Anyone know how to correct bolt torque numbers when using a crow's foot? It appears that with the crows foot facing out, there would be more torque than indicated, and facing in there would be less. Does that mean that at 90 deg. it's a wash?

What several have already said!! Use one of the intake horn bolts and screw into the injector and pry out, works very easily. Also, I removed all the clamps that support the high pressue lines, (where all the little blue rubber clamps are), and that gave plenty of slackness to move the lines without any bending. When reseating the lines, I would push the line into the injector while turning the injector back and forth slightly with a screwdriver to insure the line was exactly centered in the injector. Tighten the line into the injector and your done. Put all the little blue rubber pieces back in place, drive and enjoy.
