STUCK DIESEL INJECTOR REMOVAL TIPS & TRICKS - BMW M57 E39 - WDS ORIGINALS

In this video we explain how we made some custom tools to help remove an incredible stubborn diesel injector. Huge shout out to @TRAUTOFAB for the welding with such a quick turn round!
Also recommend leaving coca cola around the injector over night before attempting to remove as this will help eat away at the carbon build up.

Best to start with a hot engine, fully warmed through. For even more prep, put some penetrating oil down there a couple of days beforehand to let it soak in. Same as for glow plugs. Still generally need the slide hammer, but less effort needed with the right prep.

i felt it when you said welded to the car, im starting to lose hope on mine

Good video. Im lucky mine will rotate left and right with a tap but I had no clue how to apply upward force. How did you remove the grey bit on top please?

[@wds_originals]

I mullered the top of the injector and unscrewed the cap. Hope this helps.

[@tiredhero]

Quick question dude.how did you get the plastic cap off the injector? Smash it off melt it or twist it off some how ?

[@wds_originals]

Combination of smashing it/crunching it and twisting it, it was stubborn that’s for sure!
