I like that you come on TH-cam with your massive platform for advoce instead of the Land Rover dealership. Respect, my brother.
Rick and Morty reference for reference.
Try this! Make sure nothing can run into the cylinder and spray a rust buster on top of the injector. Use the whole can if you must. Let set 12 hours and clean up all the spray.
Use a LP torch or a welder to heat the area around the injector really hot!!
Keep the injector as cool as possible.
This should expand the block and give more clearance. You may want to do one at a time so they don’t cool off
DO NOT TORCH THE RUST SPRAY!
Most times heat will get something stuck loose!! Hope it works!!😊
Hey Sam love this series. I dropped you a DM on insta regarding the issue with my Panamera.
Did you try something like Seafoam?
it's a LR Of course it will break down
I worked at a Land Rover dealership for some time and let me just say that representing the brand was quite difficult to say the least… Cars with ~10,000 miles were coming back with check lights and ticking noises. More so, we would fix cars and they would return shortly after with different problems!! If you ever look into buying a Land Rover, I would highly recommend looking into other options.
@Adam Nothing quite breaks down as often or as well as a Range Rover 🤣🤣
How about having to put oil pans under brand new vehicles in the showroom to stop the leaking oil from getting onto the floor.
@@Theeternalponderer Yes there is the G-Wagon, Bentega Maybach SUV seriously almost every Luxury SUV now a days is better than a Range Rover in terms of luxury and capability, Range Rover owners are the Meth addicts in denial of the car world.
I'm not sure if you could provide insight, but would you say Land Rover intentionally builds garbage and/or do their engineers suck?
Most likely everything nowadays are made garbage I suggest you buy an older vehicle and rebuilt it from top to bottom than you have something that will last longer than the 2022
A little trick I’ve used on my Range Rover to get the injectors out is to remove fuel rail and whatever is attached to the injectors , pull the fuel pump fuse off leave the spark plugs in and crank the engine and let compression help you. I was about to to buy a 5 liter jug off gas and set it to fire but then tried this and it worked extremely well
Interesting! And way more safe than what I did 😂😂
@@Samcrac please keep up the good work of updating us. All the way from Nigeria. I'm happy seeing u doing good.
The best trick on Range Rovers is...... never own one. Working on one is always very profitable.
@@narvul _"Working on one is always very profitable."_
But with the frequent problems these things have, they certainly make you earn it.
This man giving us them 9000iq level tips here. Very nice.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about 90% of the time but I can't stop watching
I've watched almost all of Sam's videos and I have to say, this clip cemented my respect for him as a diagnostician...and a backyard mechanic par excelance.
I went through the same issue, i decided to take my time and not damage parts and leave the injectors soaking in PB blaster a few days, that worked so good I didn't need the slide hammer
There’s something so soothing about watching you do such an infuriating job in such a calm, creative and cheerful manner. I’m a big fan!
Hey Sam, you do know you can put that bonnet into access mode, so it will stand straight up and make it easier to get access to the engine. Look on the hinges each side, pop the struts, boom, will open right up
Last three generations of range rovers can do it
And also, the scuttle, brace bars and secondary bulkhead can be removed for even further access to the rear of the engine
@@GoobyPlsM if you take it apart enough, you can reach everything!
Maybe buy some Toyotas..make a few dollars ,for a change..the risk factor on these is way past fifty percent…let someone else worry,and worry…
@@rickmccl71 I can’t tell if you’re one of those old heads who’s salty you can’t fix everything with a flathead anymore or you’re just making a joke but out of all the goofy shit on this big piece of shit, better engine access is actually smart lol. Even LS guys (they won’t admit it) have extreme trouble getting to the back of the engine. Removing the cowl and hood would definitely help
This was hilarious to see the elation when each of those injectors being pulled by the cherry picker, came out in one piece. I know that feeling. You are on the cusp of saving 20 hours of your life from a miserable teardown/rebuild, but just one failure means disaster hahaha.
So nice to have a step mom who's always willing to lend a hand.
He knows what he did
ive lent a hand to his stepmom before😂
😂
••••Job?
"HOT" step mom....LOL
Man Sam, I can tell you that is some serious tough love going on in your family. I do love the adult humor as well. I wish you a happy holidays from my family to yours. I love your videos, almost in every single video it feels like it's another David and Goliath moment. Although I have to tell you I did love the pizza car series with the oven the most. You been doing this a long time and I bet it even feels a longer time for you. But I always thumbs up all your videos and I've even purchased some things from your sponsors. Godspeed my friend.
Not gonna lie, as Sam was talking about the injector removal with the slide hammer I thought a Corey Chase cameo would be hilarious. Dear lord I’m dead. A thank you for that perfect edit, this is why I love you.
Aye, she brings a lot to mind.
@@fiily1 she’s very fit, strong shoulders.
Good job getting the injectors out. You could have opened the bonnet (hood) to its vertical position (assume same as L322).
Sam ,you need to build a hydraulic tool that bridges the shock towers and applies steady pressure to the injector . You can do it .
vTuned could probably build it for you…
A trick I learned while working on heavy equipment was... dry ice... Shrinks stuff beyond belief. Makes things bridal too so be careful but you should be able to pull them out very easily. Maybe with just a tug. That trick is so crazy I could put the hydraulic drive motors back together without a 15ton press. Yep, freeze em and they dropped right in then when the parts warmed back up the only way you are going to get them out is with a press. The pins for the booms? Dry Ice the pin and slips in or out like it is too small for the job. Caution, Don't touch with your bare hands. Good luck. GC
These injectors are mostly made of plastic, they would break without even touching them.
@@YOEL_44 I would think this would have been obvious about halfway thru typing all that but I guess not. All excited talking about freezing a solid tool steel pin probably 2 plus inches in diameter instead of wailing away on it with a sledge hammer, let's apply this to a tiny plastic fuel injector. Oh to be young and enthusiastic again! I would give anything...
@@YOEL_44 You have tried it then? No? You are correct they are mostly plastic.
This could be a good idea for the reinstall process
*brittle
Step mom would have gotten it out in one yank!
I can't imagine how much this job would cost at the Rover dealership
Thousands
10 thousand + tax😂
@@leonel2009ish only crazy people pay $10k to fix a car, Range Rovers are disposable vehcles, don't ever buy used ones.
One of my favourite of Sam's videos. I felt disaster looming with each injector (and the Heath Robinson approach to pulling them with the engine lift was genius but felt deadly). Hopefully the good old Rangie will be putting again soon.
Actually I am the person who did the factory service manuals on V8 SC engines and various other vehicles of JLR.. Apart from access issues its a pretty easy engine to work on. And if you have one, you will have to work on.. cheers.
Thanks, I enjoyed the video, I like how you don't give up and come up with crazy solutions, engine hoist to remove injectors, priceless. The last time i used my hoist was to remove shrubs around my house.
My concern of pulling those injectors out with a cherry picker is keeping everything straight. Looks like a good way to break one. I bet there is a ton of carbon in that engine
Maybe a block heater like we use up north would warm the engine next time this comes up.
The step mom jokes are killing me😂
Kinda weird and degenerate
@@blockpartyvintage1568 weird but in a good way .. gigidi
@@blockpartyvintage1568 Kinda weird you don't have a sense of humor.
@Blockpartyvintage underlying step mom issues? 😂😂😂
@@huskers1278 I do, bit step mom fetishes are degenerate.
What a great video. Thanks for the honesty with how hard and demoralizing wrenching can be at times and the out of the box solutions that can work
I really love this and hope success as you worked so hard removing the injectors
Also, invest in few cheap moving pads and protect your fenders and front with headlights. For roughly $20 you could avoid damaging headlight that costs 50 times more.
That was very informative and entertaining. Thanks Sam for the great content and best of luck with the Range Rover!
Love the crazed look in your eyes when attacking the injectors 😂🤣
Very clear diagnostic procedure! Next question, do we clean the remaining injectors before putting them back in? Of course! Actuate them then shoot some carb cleaner in them!
I found adding some extra weight to the slide hammer really helped getting the injectors free.
And extending the bar, in this case I would have extended it, added an eye to attach it to the cherry picker and added a heavier slider
Some depleted uranium?
Just take out the fuel rail and tell someone to crank the engine, the compression makes fly them out
Nothing starts a video better than seeing stepmom. Cory is awesome. The Rover is a good looking ride but they are always problems but great content.
Absolute genius, well done! Keep us updated matey
Sam, great video! Would love to do one of these projects with you. So enjoyable to watch.
Just a thought... Wouldn't it have been much simpler, given you have a bore scope and the plugs out, to prime the engine and see which one gets flooded? Maybe crank it to get the injectors going?
Hey Sam if you need to use that injector puller any more you need to alter the puller to make the length of the slide part longer so it has more of a pulling and shock to the injector. When trying to remove!!
That's what I was thinking. The length of that slide hammer is comically short.
and a zip tie or some band to keep the clamp in position
That was most useless slide hammer I've ever seen, not unlike the entire vehicle. Hot garbage.
First time watching this guy.... And the first 3 minutes had me subscribe 😅
Great effort. I have one of these models and they are a pain in the ass when they play up... 🇬🇧👏
I am dying at the injector yanking omg your MOM???
You do know who that is, yes?
Wow Sam those injectors looks terrible..
Man great work taking those out!!
Nice work Sam and your team
I had to buy a shorter injector puller and had to use a steel cable to pull it. Happy to provide it if needed.
If I've learned anything from watching this channel, it's that there's no way in hell I'll ever buy a used BMW or Rover product.
Sam your R & D absolutely saves many from trial and error!
Keep up the great stuff!
God Bless
😎
Yes, it has convinced me to never, ever buy a British vehicle.
Oh precious!! Oh precious! I was celebrating with you when they came out . Lol😂 I know the feeling when you have a challenge like that and figure out.
Great removal technique & diagnosis.
Love the troubleshooting!
Next is to check fuel pressure at the rail from the fuel pump, a dirty blocked sock on the fuel pump would cause hesitation, a miss ect.
Every time I watch your videos it reminds me of the commercial back in the 80's.... the one with the monkey's smacking the drivetrain components with 2x4's yelling, "Gee boss, never worked on a transmission before". I totally like the creative & ingenuity, it is just funny sometimes how you get to where you are. Keep it up.
You have certainly upped your repair and diagnostic game, and the channel is so much better for it! 🎉 🚗
I would love for you to install an LS2 in that truck. Perhaps one of the electric eluminator motors.
You would make life a lot easier for yourself Sam if you put the bonnet ( hood to you) in service mode! I think I would modify those stupidly short slide hammer and get the sliding part almost double the length and make a heavier hammer part then get an air hammer underneath the slide and hammer it out that way. Using the engine crane although it has been working is a recipe for breaking them.
i'd be afraid that would break them too easily as well. There don't seem to be many good options.
Great job Sam
Mad respect for the work you put in!!!!!
Oh Sam, your step mom is an expert at “injector yanking”😅
Hi Sam, I think the special slide hammer is the problem here. It needs to be extended so you have at least 12 inches of travel and a bigger weight needs to be fitted.
There is a hydraulic one that actually works but is 2000$
I had no issues when pulling the injectors on my XJ while doing the timing chain tensioner replacement. Pulled the fuel rail and ignition coils to have free access to the injectors and had no trouble pulling them. A couple solid pulls was all that was needed to break all 8 free.
Nice outside the box thinking. But really this show is great about letting me know what kind of car to avoid! :)
Great vid Sam. Keep it up!
Eager to see when you install the new injectors sam
Sam your skits are the perfect size and amount.
Some others we won't name them, do whole 20 minutes long skits that blocks my fuel injectors completely.
Great video! Always amazing content. Thank god your mom told you how to release the injectors! 😂
Sam you need to power the injector if you want to see fluid flow. It’s simple just use jumper wires to the connector. Once you power it with 12v shoot your fluid and you can see the pattern of the injector.
Hey Sam, I think you need to pull the injectors with a steady force not a dynamic puller. That is why they won't come out and self-destruct when you use a puller. You can spray some penetrating oil around the outside and try to rotate the injector body so that it will break free.
I really love the way you make your videos 👍😆
And thanks for helping me never wanting to buy a land rover 🤣
Glad I found your vids, as I’ve been looking at 2016 Rover
Good job as usual Sam!
On the direct injection stuff I have always had luck with heating the head up and then using a big pry bar
Metal to metal press fit connections respond well to heat and cold. You should have taken a pinpoint butane torch to the block around each injector. They would have piped out with the slide hammer.
When installing new injectors spray the contact circumference of each injector with a canned freezing spray and they will slide right in.
Popped out.
Fabulous work Sam - can’t believe the substandard way ‘modern’ things are made. Those fuel injectors were a joke to remove.
Maybe when you reinstall those injectors a little never seize would be a great idea!
Nice video Sam. What I learned is....Not to buy a Range Rover. I have a BMW 7 series e38. I fix myself and I'm glad it's not that completed aside from the timing chain of which I'm doing now.
O yay a 7 series bmw,sooo much better.......no p.o.s. it is too
@@vernoncostanza1560 lol, you don’t know what you’re talking about, Do you? Pre 2005 BMW very reliable , easy to work in assuming u have a brain
@@fregyt nice try bud,that would be a 18 year old car by now,so you agree they have been shit for that long.
Good argument
It seems to me the key to stuck things is pressure + impact. So the cherry picker + either a air hammer to vibrate things, or using that slide hammer to add some kick.
What a roller-coaster. Can't wait for the result.
Hi Sam, this might sound like a crazy idea, but would it help to hook up a coolant heater and crank it up to 90F?
Yep exactly what i was thinking
Honestly, "Stuck dead in a field" is pretty much the natural state of existence for Range Rovers.
Same happening to me but with an Elantra many years ago an injector fail and start to make a smoke curtain, but today I learning how to remove an injector in a Range Rover, thanks for that some day are going to be very usefull for me
I am excited to see Sam finish a vehicle!!
Don’t get your hopes up
Don’t hold your breath Heston busy pulling his injector all over step mom🤣🤣🤣
I never knew Corey was a good car mechanic on top... of her other talents 😂
Great work. Will be very excited to see injectors re-installed. Install via same slide-hammer?
Fuel rail seats injectors when reattached
Lmao sam crac I love what you do and love your videos they crack me yo ahaha
Have you tried the Double Dutch Rudder to get the injectors out?!?
Wish I had a step mom like her. She would come in “handy”
@Samcrac I feel your pain Bro😂😂😂
I had a 2011 5.0 Supercharged that needed timing chains and top end rebuild. I picked up a set of Harbour Freight 14pc slide hammer and I modified one of the attachments tip by opening the gap enough to slide under the nipple. It did better since it was heavier than the loose "injector tool I was depending on.
It busted all the injectors for fraction of the price I paid for the required tool.
Amazing! Loved this one!
The slide hammer needs more mass and slide travel to bulid up the force.
Range Rovers are always the most headache, but they just look too good 😭
I hear you, Sam. Some days I have to pull the slide hammer a few hundred times, too. Shout out to your kayfabe stepmom. Jokes aside, I couldn't care less about a Range Rover, but your videos are always entertaining and fun to watch.
I would probably use a pulley system taking notice on d angle of the pull to prevent d injecTor from bending. Use weights to apply a constant pulling pressure while lubricating the injector
Hey dude, I was on the edge of my seat when you tried to yank it out without braking the injector, more suspense than a scary movie.i hope this is your day job
Great video!!!!! Might want to get an injector test like Alex has.
They're really expensive for these types of Injectors
Great job, knowledge is power. I own a velar, love it, still have 2 years warranty left, may take an extended warranty for peace of mind. They are great vehicles….when they are reliable.
Hey one day could you do a review on all your cars? Running and non running and list their issues
The old 5.4l Ford tritons the recommendation for getting the sparkplugs out was to fill the plug wells with carb cleaner over night. I think they trick may work for these since it seems like this is carbon build up causing the issue.
I'd be putting just a lil dab of white lithium grease around the sealing point of the injector when installing the new ones so they aren't so hard to remove the next time... 🤷♂️
Yes a lil dab of flammable lithium grease.
Or copper or aluminum anti.seize
YEEEEEEEEEEES! Sunday SAM! 🥳
Congrats SAM on your resilience.....I would NEVER buy a USED Range Rover!
Mom always has the best advice. Another A+ video.
make it happen sam,this is an awesome using your head moment
🤣🤣🤣 Awesome step-mom cameo 🤣🤣🤣
Sam, you are a savage mechanic :), I'm sure those range rover engineers cried when they saw you cherry picking the injectors :)
Can we thank the government and ethanol for this job ?
