![How to Replace Your Diesel Injectors Step by Step [Common Rail Direct Injection D4EA]](/img/n.gif)
This is bringing back some sweet memories. I have seen injectors being so friggin stuck, there was no other way then to replace the whole cilinder head. Man, those were the days 🙃
Wow lol not good!
I'm doing mine this weekend. I heard that the M57 is notorious for this happening. I'm praying that mine come out!
He's a master at baiting those pesky injectors out of their holes.
Thanks a bunch. If i had watched this a couple of days ago i would have saved myself 700 bucks of repair cost.. a single injector was defective on my 6th cylinder also M57. Total cost: a thousand bucks.
Amazing content, I love your channel. I’ve already followed your EGR delete kit installation vid.
My n47 is currently suffering from Black Death so this video is very informative and has been a god send
The slide hammer worked for me, just removed mine on my VAG 1.9 tdi from 98 still on the original injectors 25 years on . Thanks for sharing this tip
Glad to hear!
It's great as a concept, but the title should be **EASY WAY (If you happen to have the spare parts to create a slide-hammer with the correct thread (which you probably don't))**
Good advise Goerge ... just don't forget to number the injectors as they sit in the orignal position before removing them as they need to go back to the same cylinder they came out of due to the fact they are individually coded. Also to ease injector removal it's worth squirting a bit of penetrant such as "Plus Gas" around each injector few days before removal.
Thanks mate, yep wise words!
Onn the first M57 (atleast e39 525d) you dont have to. Just have to recalibrat after installation. But later on E60 that is correct
@@d.martins4471 It does not matter.
2007 megane 1.5dCi. 205,000 miles.
Major maintenance. Decided to remove and ultrasonic clean the injectors. They are well stuck! Thought of giving up but inspired by your video, may try again if I can source a slide hammer.
First may do leak off test. If that looks good may just leave the injectors in place.
All glow plugs are open circuit as well, but it's still a good starter..odd!
That's not stuck. When even a sliding hammer 5 times the size can't help anything, that's when you say the injector is stuck.
Yup, that’s what I’m dealing with rn. May have to pull a lot more of the engine apart than I ever expected to.
Oh my! That's a nice trick. You hardly damage the fuel injector. Thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
I feel like this video is going to come in handy very soon… 😅 Great work mate
Cheers mate!
Just thought I would comment for anyone with really stuck injectors. A 15 pound slide hammer with a 20 inch slide range didn't work on a Mitsubishi 4P10 engine after soaking and trying for 1 week. The injector was bad and was going to be replaced so I broke off all the plastic components and return line and ripped out the useless rubber seal. I then used a high powered hammer drill to vibrate the injector in a clockwise direction using the return port on the injector while adding fluids around the injector. Eventually more and more rust was being ejected from around the injector and after about an hour of this, I used an impact driver to tighten a high strength nut on the injector and the injector finally rotated. After that the slide hammer removed it easily.
I gat a method that’s been working pretty well in case of one sigle injector has to be removed wich is :
Remove the bolt that is maintaining the injector, turn on engine, and the injector will set himself free on its own… super low tech and worked for me, twice for now..
That was probably the most straight forward example I've ever seen. Some injectors will not come out even with a slide hammer. I'm seriously struggling now with a Focus, using the slide hammer the injector just will not come out, and the injector is actually loose in the cylinder head bore.
Excellent video. Really enjoyed it. Now off to watch your video on reseating the fuel injector
Good luck!
@@GeorgeAusters watched that video now and I love your advice on using grease on the end of the reamer to stop stuff getting into the cylinders. Many others say don’t worry about it as it’s not much. They obviously aren’t taking into account the aluminium or metal fillings but rather just the carbon. I’m a subscriber now.
🤣🤣🤣🤣this remind me me of last weeks experience, I undone the injector bolt very slightly and done a few burnouts on the spot and it popped out forcefully and started chuffing diesel like crazy but in the end I was able to use one finger to pull it out
Nice! lol
Nice work , had to replace 4 of them not cheap
Thank you mate
Fantastic, well explained, clean video
Glad it was helpful!
Great tip, Thank you for sharing.
No problem!
@4:53 I love a happy ending
UN BIG merci ! de la FRANCE
Good I will try it on International tractors model 564 injectors
Great video
Done this work yesterday on my E60LCI and had a fight with 2 of them. I really need a hammer like yours
Definitely worth having.. I've linked a kit in the description for you!
I'm a Yank and I could actually understand what you were saying, bravo.
Glad to have you here my friend!
You must be in the top half of intelligence in the US! 😀
Well good info Fella' I will make one up tomorrow, a kit is about 50 quid on the net maybe more maybe less depending on the make. Thanks for the info. Tom Ayr.
Good stuff, you’re welcome!
Great vid thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I just sprayed the stuck injectors with dw40, put a spanner on the injector and apply side pressure untill it moves 1mm, then I go the other way and so forth untill it moves more and more, it takes 10 minutes for each one.
Never say never - try this on peugeot /citroen 2,2 hdi - sometimes injectors even come apart while pulling with 20 tons hydraulic jack
Thanks for a great video. How can you avoid debris falling into cylinders when cleaning the valve seat please???
Apply a small amount of grease to the reamer tool
My local garage, loosens the injector clamps runs the car and revs a few times and usually that frees them enough. If they’re stuck he goes for a drive and he’s never had a problem with that method.
Getting the engine hot helps a lot (aluminium head, steel injectors)
Not always possible unfortunely.. Sometimes the engine won't or can't be run
@@GeorgeAusters 😮
Thanks for that tip Piovo, it worked a treat on mine
All well and good if the engine starts. Some only just about turn over. Some not at all
I removed stuck m57 injectors with clamp bolts. Just use E8 i think on top of the bolts and unbolt them nice and slow. The clamp will slovly force injectors out. No special tools needed. Just alot of wd40
Hello, I got error code P2047. Is this an injector problem?
Hey G looks like you have done this before!
Best wishes 👍🏼
For sure! On the N47 engine.
Best wishes to you too!
Mate i have a Peugeot 207. I need to upgrade the stereo. You think this can be done at home. I have zero clue about it.
What a brilliant and informative video tuturial, George. I've got a "Leaking" injector (3rd one along from the left, as your looking at the engine from the front) on my 2008 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi. There's definitely no "Putt-Putting" noice coming from the leaking injector, so i'm thinking it's either the injector itself that's gone faulty or fingers crossed it's just the fuel inlet pipe (that screws on to the top of the injector) that is causing this leaking diesel. I'm dreading it if it's the injector itself as i've noway of "Coding/Programming" a replacement and i know it's going to be a hefty garage bill if the injector itself is to fault.
If your car/van is running perfectly would you recommend removing them and replacing the copper O ring at some point in its life, say 100,000 miles or 200,000 for example?
Usually not needed but won’t hurt!
Very clever device you’ve made there George 👍🇬🇧
I’ve had some work done on my BMW X5 E70 35d Msport,I’d sooner let the mechanic do it,I had 6 new Bosch glowplugs,beru 108 glowplug controller,and a differential dpf pressure sensor,and oil and filter change,I’m starting to think it’s a money pit lol 😂
Be sure to bleed the fuel system once the high pressure pipes are back on. Some cars can do this electronically by pressing the start button on the dash a few times but its recommended to perform the service function in ISTA or equivalent software to ensure all the trapped air is bled out. Remember first time i did a rocker cover replacement and shit my pants when she was just just dry cranking for about 5 mins in the late evening lol.
Yeah I’ve had to do it many many times👍🏻
Thread size & pitch?
With the high pressure fuel pipes how did you relieve the pressure before taking them off? I have a leaky inector and got a mechanic to replace the o ring but its still leaking, im thinking did he nick the o ring, should i take out the injector myself to inspect the o ring.
There won’t be high pressure there without the engine running
Yes sure. This one even wasn't stuck.
How about a little anti-sieze on the threads?
Which threads?
hi got a kia ceed same issue would this work as they screw on at an angle not straight like yours you think it would work
Yes should still work
Vauxhal Vivaro 1.9cdti, drivers side injector seized in, 3 days of effort and I eventually broke the end off a professional slide hammer trying to get it out. Tried freezing, heat, drilling/penetrating oil, burn out with clamp loose, twisting with spanners and power/impact wrench; NOTHING.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Run the engine with the clamp loose
That’s why u never wash a disel engine
i haven’t washed my motor in 5 years. my engine still does the same km per tank since new
pressure washers these days are too powerful. i would never bring one near an engine 😊
Do you need to bleed fuel system once instaling back injectors on this m57 engine? Or shall I just turn b the engine with my engine starter until it fires up?
Watch my fuel filter replacement videos👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters ok thx
That was not a stuck injector, that came out very easily, there used to be no way that little slide hammer would even touch seized injectors. Plus what about all that injectors with the pipe connection is on the side?
I’ve used it successfully on all my engines.. my old n47 engine they were stuck worse than these
trying to get them out of my 2012 Q5 but the slide hammer not working as the thread is on the side so won't pull directly up, any ideas?
Pull harder
It’s stuck when you’re 12 tonne plus
I used a wheel bearing knocker on a injector yesterday, and it didnt budge, had to use hydrolic power to remove it.
Oh wow!
@@GeorgeAustersI have (and sadly I have to use it quite often) a hydraulic injector puller in my shop with up to 100kN.
Sadly Slidehammer didnt worked for me.
I have two stuck injectors. Bougth a slide Hammer. Ive tried for 4 hours today. Ive even used an old cracked 19" alloy rim as a hammer in addition with the 2kg slide hammer.
Did you find a way to remove them eventually? I am in the same position.
@@johnhorgan5313 hey yes ive managed to remove them both.
Ive found on the internet a XXL Sledgehammer and an adapter for the Bosch Injector.
Sledge Hammer: STAHLMAXX 100540
Adapter: STAHLMAXX 35041
Next problem where the copper rings. They stayed in the head as i expected. But a friend if mine had a special tool for this case.
For these ive used: BGS 62630
But with a small sledge hammer.
Lastly ive used this tool to cut the injector seats: BGS 62604
luckly ive could borrow the last tools and didnt had to pay for them.
Next time i just sell the car and buy a Vectra or Signum with a Petrol engine
@@THExPsyGamerx OK Thanks. John
👍👍👍
best time to remove them are when engibne is still relative worm, most or all will poopup easily then and you will remove them with hands/fingers while when engine are allready cold they you will probably have nightmare/daymare at least with 1-2 of them
Yep👍🏻
i have now problem with stucked needle in injector which dont want come out and injector was flooded with diesel fuel inside hole and i see its leek on that metal pipe so diesel was around of injector when i start car which only cranking ,other 3 seems not leaking ., is that means that injector was clooged @@GeorgeAusters
you say that method never fails, but what when you have wore out and broken the slidehammer (much bigger than this one) in the attempt of removing the injector(fron an N57), what is the next method?
You use a better quality one
You forgot to mention one thing 🤣 you need to mark injectors or write down correction codes to code them if you install the in different cylinders 😊
Yes important to put them back in same order
@@GeorgeAusters another great video!! if I were to clean the removed injectors in a ultrasonic bath would I have to have them recoded? this is assuming of course they are put back in the same cylinder
@@chrisbullen4317 No need to code them
Parts to make slide hammer
I’ve linked a kit in the description
We bought a professional slide hammer and it still didn't come out so what next
Did you try pulling harder?
What gloves do you use mate ?

How do you get the rocker cover off if your injector clamp bolts are damaged? That is, chewed heads on the clamp bolts? You cannot remove the injectors, so you cannot get the rocker cover off! Yet all You Tube videos seem to show only when they are completely snapped, allowing the injector out anyway! Then it is easy to access the snapped bolt for removal via extractor tool because you can get the rocker cover off and ou the way! Did all these people just hit lucky? Okay a bit 'unlucky' to snap a bolt, but better than one you cannot shift at all? I suppose I have to drill away the head of injector clamp bolt until nothing is left of its head? Or is there an easier way to get the injector out?
Mate you have never done a Renault/Vauhaul vivaro injector removal, you can hang the van from them, it is full scale grinder drills and dispose of the head.
Yep i'd rather not haha!
Sounds like we get the cream of the work lol
With slide hammer for Trafic , Vauxhall, Primastar if you're lucky to take off , but with slide hammer you damaged the thread , another situation with hidraulic extractor snap them
Mine are so stuck that it was not possible to remove them with hidraulic jack
Yea this is to easy lol, i had my stuck and had to use a 1m slidehamer lol
AHA you wish it will work like that, when water come GOD BEY CHARLY need hydro press to pick up, some time they brake then you need drill it!!!!!!! Metod never fail....lolololo lollolo..Comedian
Those are not stuck injectors
Injector 6 with no room is a pain
Yeah can be quite tight, it’s why a smaller slide hammer like this is handy
Yeah can be quite tight, it’s why a smaller slide hammer like this is handy
@@GeorgeAusters i used a small one and it ain’t coming out
@@dilix95does you get it out eventually? My cylinder 6 injector is failing too and will have to do this job soon
Loosen the bolts , then run engine , so far that's all I have had to do to free one!
Can be a bit messy and not always possible.. This engine couldn't be started as the turbo has blew up
@Georgeausters Then a slide hammer as you did was needed and they didn't need much persuasion. All would have vibrated free with engine on.
That in not stuck.
These weren’t too bad but this method works when they are BAD
@@GeorgeAusters Have you got any other tips for removal? I still cannot remove after soaking in wd40 for 2 days and using a 2kg slide hammer. Naturally only 1 is stuck!
That's not a stuck injector.
This is how to remove one👍🏻
You call this stuck, are you serious! This works only if injector is stuck slightly... But many times injector is so stuck that it's difficult to remove it even with hidraulic puller... So most of the time your method is total waste of time, and I'm sure you know that. But hey, if you had titled it using words 'hard' and 'expensive' you would not have nearly as much likes and views.
