mark99 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 What are you using to pull the injectors out? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEngo Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 First thing is to loosen the fastenings a couple of turns (DO NOT REMOVE COMPLETELY) and try to start the engine. That will often loosen the injectors enough to pull them out. Beware of lots of smoke! If not,0 I have a purpose made slide hammer for Kelvin injector bodies. It screws in where the injector drain screw fits. If you can get into the spaces under the securing bolt holes or any 'ears' on the injector then wedges can be effective. For a CAV or similar body with a cap nut over the setting nut I would make up a hollow ended piece to screw onto the injector body and attach to a slide hammer. If you remember to take the injectors out about once a year they will usually come out without tools. Heavy on copper washers tho. Put coppaslip on the the outside whe refitting if they are a close fit into the head. N0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark99 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Thanks. I think Gardner inector/head uses an engineered taper and no washer. Edited April 18, 2019 by mark99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split Pin Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Gardners puller is a special bolt which screws into the leak off connection. as per picture and a flat bar which sits across the head I use a slide hammer directly into the same fitting. The thread is somewhat obscure as it is an Admiralty Thread 7/16 whit form x 24 TPI. As Mark says there is no copper washer just conical seat on the injecter nut against a taper in the head. They can get tight with carbon build up between the nozzle and the head Steve Edited April 18, 2019 by Split Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Agree with your comment. The hammer is very well made and nice to have something hand made within these shores...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hi, A couple of pics of the Gardner injector (sprayer) spanner I have, it's 10cm long (the 'T' bar is 60mm) and the box opening is 14mm, The small Brass plate. has the Gardner logo, and instruction - SPRAYER KEY - tighten the clamp nuts only with this key if the nuts are screwed up too tightly the sprayer cannot work properly. So don't tighten your nuts up too much. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I wonder what it has been used to hammer? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark99 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I also read you can crack the head too hence the low torque spanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
