I'm having trouble(!) getting injector #1 out of my C220 CDI.
I have the tool, used coke for 24 hours, assaulted it with a cold chisel and hammer, but although I can make the top move a few millimetres side-to-side it shows no willingness to move in the important vertical direction. I have left a puddle of penetrating oil on top of it since last night, but I'm not expecting much.
My thoughts:
- borrow an engine lift and using the tool to hold on to the injector apply some lift. I'm
more than a bit scared of damaging the engine mounts which aren't expecting this...
- take the head off and attempt to drive the injector out from underneath. There are
two problems here - 1) the injector isn't very large at the base, so I may have trouble
appllying enough welly and 2) how do you get the head off with the injectors in? It looks
to me like the head bolts are under the timing cover that is UNDER the injectors.
Anybody have any idea?
