KHFord Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hello, does any one have any tips on pulling out stuck injector copper washers? I had 2 injectors stuck, had to slide hammer them out but now the copper washers are stuck in the bore. I've made a little hook out of a coat hanger to try to lift it up but it is moving. Also does any one have suggestions for cleaning the injector bore, the shop manual does not show a brush, the 3.5 gtdi brush is close but not quite long enough.

KHFord Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Pretty sure somebody reused the washers on this truck, they supposedly have only been in there for 30,00km. Once I got them out you can see where they leaked. Went at it with a borescope and pick to clean around the washers, then was able to break them free. Probably why those 2 injectors got stuck so bad. The 3.5 brush ended up working pretty good for cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8WA Sman Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I have used various cleaning tools but gun bore brushes seem to work well. What about using tap and adjustable holder to get the copper washer out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I had a similar problem with one that had a couple doubled up washers. I eventually broke them free with a long bent tip trans pick. Got them out with a 1/4" extension with some grease on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHFord Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I had a brief attempt with the tap but I was too scared of cutting too deep. They where packed in way tighter than any others I've had to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
