There's a few threads on here about the "chamfer & jubilee clip" method. I chamfered mine & used three jubilee clips to compress a little. My 10ton eBay press pushed them in with no trouble.
Main recommendation is to have a second pair of...
Yes tried that using a length of 4mm x 25mm bar, but injector not moving. I was gonna try loosening the clamp nuts a turn or so, and then fire it up to see if the engine ejected them. Told my son to squirt the injectors & pipe nuts with...
Yes I figure injector 2 needs replacing or refurb. Started to get bits off to remove it, but got a problem with the fuel pipes. The nuts are siezed on the injector ports, so when I try to loosen the pipes the injector port turns as well. No...

No fuel coming from injectors tops, but lots coming out of the leak-off pipes...
