Sorry I missed the thread buggered and the post recommending grinding the threads off....to many hours out plowing and not enough sleep to even read right.

At least the snow is slowing down, for now.
And we got clear up to 15 today, regular heat wave.

 

We have 3 more days of this cold,then back up to our normal winter, lows in the 40s highs in the 60s,If I had asked how to get that thing out BEFORE I messed with it I would be driving by now.I guess Ill learn one day,Ive got to get done soon,my wife wont let me pull my boat with her Lincoln!

 

There are more wives available. lol

 

Yea but after 28 years Ive almost got used to this one!!

 

Warning that is about the time they start thinking start thinking they OWN you and it just gets worse.

 

Maybe thats why I cant buy that new boat I want????

 

It warmed up enough to work a little today,I soaked it with brake fluid,tapped around in there lightly with a small chisel,the warmed it good with the heat gun,waited 2 hours,did the same thing,I noticed a lot of black carbon in the fluid after it sat a while.Ill try again tommorow,this cold should be out of here by wednsday,thank goodness,I had another broken water pipe this morning!Yall wish me luck.....

 

might try sea foam i have used it to disolve carbon build up in gas engines all the time

 

Thats the next thing if this dont work

 

Are the threads in the stuck lower casing messed up or just the threaded end of the upper body? Couldn't you disassemble another old injector and use the grinder trick mentioned earlier? I hope you get this fixed, this thread is kind of like an automotive soap opera now. lol.

 

Yes it is! There aint no threads at all left in there,Ive got it soaking in brake fluid right now,I have to go try to find a easy out big enough to grab it,if I can get it to move without breaking any more maybe it will come out,I think the flu bug has got me this morning,felt it coming on for the last few days.Ill update as I go

 

The injector case metal is rather hard and thin where you are trying to grab it, so I would be as gentle as possible with the easy out.

 

Oh yea,Im trying to be careful,

 

When it does come out, since you will have some fluid around the injector go into the cylinder, crank the engine over a time or two before you install a new injector so you can blow out the fluid in the cylinder.

Not much volume left in the cylinder at TDC, and I would hate to see the engine hydrolock after you get the injector changed.

 

YEE-HAW!!! After 2 days soaking,one gentel turn with the big easy out....OUT IT CAME!!,First I did a cherokee victory dance then the hula and just for good measure my version of the hokie pokie!!I cleaned the hole out,put the shop vac on it then blew it with the air hose thru th GP hole,Now Ill listen to Dave and turn the engine a little.I saw no evidence of a copper washer in there out of 8 only 5 had it.Now I can install my new return line kit and see if she will go.
