pulling injectors

MikeO-WI · Oct 5, 2010

Don't know what I am dealing with here, but in pulling injectors the first two came out like they should. The next two popped a brass sleeve that allowed coolant into the piston. At first I thought I had cracked the head but then figured that these sleeves should be able to be replaced. Do I get new ones and how do I get the old ones off the injector. Never seen this before.

It would help if you give the tractor model.

You need to put in new brass sleeves and will have to borrow or fashion a driver to install them. I usually take a cut off tool on a die grinder and split the old brass sleeve to rescue the injection nozzle. Far as getting the coolant out of the cyl, well that is the biggest problem I would say. Air nozzle in cyl, then dry it up with some thing like brake cleaner and then oil it down really good. I guess I have always been fortunate enough to remember to drain coolant before pulling the nozzles.

It is a 1460 Combine with the big (don't know the cu in) diesel engine. After talking with my local IH dealer, I decided to have a machine shop make a tool to install the sleeves and to make a tool to remove the other two injectors. The IH dealer was not any help except they did have the new sleeves.
