Injectors removal tools

[Archive]

What have you guys used to remove your injectors? I have 370 HP on the way and am starting to do some research.

I have all sorts of slide hammer pullers is there an end I can put on one of these?

drawson,
My 370`s are on the way too. Have you installed the Governer spring kit yet? This seems like a must have to get the max performance out of the engine.

You can make a simple puller for the 12V injectors by using a metric bolt 14X1. 5 thread, between 4 to 4. 5 inches long. Get the longest nut for that thread you can find. The longest one I was able to get was only 7/16 inch but it worked. Just use a big nut that will slide up and down the bolt but not go past the hex head for a slide weight. I used a 3/4 inch drive socket for mine. Thread the nut on to the end of the old injector and the bolt. Use your little slide weight and after a few whacks the old injector comes loose. (I got this little trick from Joe D, who also supplied me the 370s) The metric bolt and nut was hard to find here, had to go to a company that only sells nuts and bolts to find it. Home Depot, True Value, etc. did not have it. It was also expensive, $11 but I needed it now. In hind sight, I have a cheaper way. Just by the 14x1. 5 metric nut. Get a SAE bolt (they are cheap) that will almost thread in and force it to jam the threads part way (make sure you have your slide weight on first) or you could braze or weld it on. Then you can thread the other end of the metric nut on to the injector. Do not use a bolt longer than 4. 5 inches. You will have problems with the last two injectors if you do. If you use a 3/4 in. drive socket like I did, make sure the socket end is facing down. You may have clearance problems with the back two if you have it the other way. You will also love the 370s, big increase in power ALL over. No hesitation or infamous 1100 stumble in my truck. Joe D told me my 180hp pump should work just fine and he was right. I adjusted valves, changed injectors and AFC spring, all for the first time, including bringing out tools and clean up in under eight hours, which included my neighbor coming over and asking questions for half hour. and another half hour lunch break.

Hemi, I don't have the governer spring kit and haven't even put it in my bobmbing plans. I am getting the 370 injectors and a 16 CM2 turbo housing. The way mine is set up now the EGTs go above 1250 as soon as I get over 2600 RPMs or so. So I guess I'll wait and see how they are after the bigger housing is in place.
