W163 ML270 stubborn injector removal

[Down.Side]

Hi all

The problem I've got is this:

I'm currently in the process of removing all 5 injectors and replacing seals and bolts to solve a blowing injector / black death problem.

I have done four with no major problems, but injector number 4 is stubborn.

I just can't get it out, but is does turn in the cylinder, so I know that I have loosened it a bit.

I havent got a slide hammer, or injector puller, which I think would solve the problem, but I am working on a budget and don't want to buy one.

Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can borrow or rent one from for a weekend. I am in the Warrington area,

Thanks in advance...

Soak the injector with a mix of diesel and carb cleaner over night.

If you can start the engine warm it up to around normal temp, turn off, and then remove the injector by turning/twisting it.

If your lucky it will come out.
