#7 injector removal

[milspark1]

I just finished the nightmare of changing the O-Rings. Mine is a 96, but it has the screws for that piece as well. I have managed to drop my time to about 35 minutes on the removal of the passenger side valve cover. What a pain.

well i got brave and just pryed it off and come to find out it is glued on and looks as if there where never any flanges for screws.

Thats a first for me, how are you going to put it back on?

 

[06cumminspower]

re glue it

wow.................?

you should use some PC-11 or jb-weld and epoxy some flanges onto it, and use small sheet metal screws to mount it, that way its removable for the next time.

Before regluing it, you may want to see how difficult it is to remove the whole core cover is (your's is really different looking). I have the vacuum reservoir with the screws and flanges, but needed to pull the whole core cover off when removing my injectors. It's really not very difficult. There is one screw that needs to be removed from inside the cab near the firewall to floorboard joint area. Cheers!

Next time just take the 4 screws out of the solenoid on top of the injector and remove the solenoid. That will give you the last little bit of room to get it out.

well i got an injector ordered from napa for 83 dollars and and the core is just 6 bucks, and looking at the injector a couple of the rubber seals are torn do you think that was causing the injector not to work? if so i will just keep it for 6 bucks replace the seals and use it as a replacement for the next time. also why is my box different from anyone eles???

Torn o rings will cause bad firing. Your box is the same as mine.
