High pressure fuel line fittings

[RustyTRanch]

good morning everybody,



I am adding tools to truck as I think of them.

The fitting at the injectors what size wrench do you use?



also would a tubing wrench work better in this application??

# 2 looks a little tight for normal wrench.



also how would you even think about torque #6?



thanks for any input

later

A 19mm crow's foot wrench is what you'll need to do those injector line fittings. You will DEFINITELY need to pay attention to the torque settings, you'll get leaks, or worse, deformed tube ends, if you don't. Be sure and hold the line against the injector tube while running the fitting home by hand. They might not line up right, otherwise.

As for #6, you'll need to remove the lift bracket. Might need a cheater pipe on your ratchet handle to break those bolts loose.

I did not need to remove the lift bracket when I swapped out my injectors. The hardest part with #6 is laying flat and trying to get enough a$$ on the wrench to loosen and tighten the injector line
