Diesel Injector Problem

Greeners · 27th May 2015, 13:20

Injector has made a break for freedom, broken the clamp and snapped both studs off.

Any ideas on getting the remnants out due to limited access ?

Any thread left proud or are they flush with the top?

bit of thread....probably 5mm...

I'll try and get a picture.

Not sure how tight they are in the manifold.

Get a little heat on them, let it soak for five mins then gently undo with a good six sided socket, and a lot of preying!

Those look like threaded studs, with a locknut on them. Could the locknut not be undone?

undone the nut.....and it's one of those little fellas...

So I'm assuming it's a camshaft cover off job
