T-40 Injector Tool?
Getting ready to change injectors on a 2006 6.0 and recall seeing a Snap-On tool part number on here for the long reach T-40 Torx bit. I have been looking at previous post and done searches but can not find it now. Does anyone know that part number?
Thanks for any help.

I don't know the part number but matco makes one and it's cheaper. Search matco long shank torx 40. That's what I bought. I paid a little more cause I did not have time to wait for it to be shipped and bought it from the local matco dealer. But it was still under 30 dollars.

Also don't forget GearWrench. They have some nice ones too.
Guess that is why I got a set.

o'riley has them, they call them "brake caliper torx bits"
I've used mine exactly 28 times and had no issues

I bet that was just the bit (no socket holder)
I think you will find it's good for exactly 37 uses

Got my set at Auto Zone, was 4 bits in the set, plenty long for injectors, don't remember the price but probably less than Snap On and more than Harbor but they are exactly 1 block from my house

Here is one on Fleabay. I picked up the full set.
It has already come in useful and I have not
even done injector stuff yet. You might want to
find a full set and go that route.

You really want it in a socket configuration so that
you can use it with a torque wrench. Yes you can
stick one into a socket and use it that way but I find
that it's more useful to not have it fall out all the time.
Other places I found the long shaft are useful were when
I was working on the oil cooler assembly. It was not nice
not having to work around the parts that stick up some.
With the longer shaft I was able to get a more open range
to turn the wrench.
