Exclamation changing a buddy's injector

we're trying to change a buddy's #7 injector and didn't realize that the injector has to be pressed out and in. How do you guys pull and replace your injectors.

We at this moment are at the injector but need to get it changed.

hahaha, very funny! LOL

Yea, number 7 was dead, now it's alive again, 2 and 6 sound weak but they all sound much weaker than the new one, wow does it click, but that is for another day when we have more cash.

None the less thanks for the help.

Don't forget the .50 cent before you close it up!And torque all the others while you are there as they tend to back off with time!

Yea, I mentioned it to him about 5 times about torquing down the rockers but he didn't but I did get the 50 cent mod done on that one side. I figure when we're back in there replacing glow plugs we'll get them all torqued down.

Yes, but we grind off some so it's maybe $0.43 by the time we are done.
