Loose Injectors ?? 1300D

[California]

I had a h*** of a time getting the injectors out of the YM240. They were a hard pull all the way up out of the cavities.

Here's a post I made that I thought might be helpful to the next person who needs to do this.

Injector removal tool - (cheapskate version) - photos

. . . . then there is always removing the studs and getting on it with a Vise Grip or pipe wrench and as long of a length of pipe as necessary

Norm, in the post I linked, I showed the injectors were recessed too far to get a good grip with anything. I tried 16" Channellocks but that only cut gouges in the injector.

Best of luck, I ordered the tool before I tried to get mine out, but I never needed to use it. That tool from Hoye is pretty nice though and should work really good.
Let us know how they come out with that tool so we all know for future reference.

Gouges are cosmetic. Guarantee a pipe wrench and 4', (actually 2') pipe will loosen them with studs removed.

Take a look at my photos in that thread. There are shoulders in the head that prevent getting a pipe wrench on the injectors. Also in my case rotating the injectors wouldn't have helped lift them out, they were a severe hard pull all the way up. Believe me, I tried every way I could think of to break them free by rotation before pulling them straight out.

If the tractor had been maintained properly they would have been taken out occasionally but I'm pretty sure this was the first time ever. They were cemented solid, all the way out.

I don't understand how you can say you can't get a pipe wrench on them. They stick up a good 2" above the head. It either works or breaks, it cannot slip, and I have never seen anyone break a pipe wrench.

Norm, there are 3-4-5 people in this thread that say it cant be done.. & I'm one of'm.. I've been doin this crap for over 30 years & "I" couldn't get 1 out.!!! You don't think I tried EVERY trick in the book BEFORE I ordered the tool??!!!
I ordered the tool & thought I'd break the inj. before it FINALLY budged w/ that MONSTER slide hammer Hoye sent me.!!!
WHY are u arguing?? Your not there.. You have no idea of his tooling situation.. Like I said previously> basically, If I cant do it, chances are pretty good you cant do it..

I just know how many,many, guys reported getting the job done before the tool existed. End of story IMHO.

Im pretty sure Hoye developed the tool fir their own YANMAR shop before they decided to make it and sell it to the public. Im sure there was a reason they thought it up??

I havent been there or done that. I am just reading all those that cant over the years. I would agree with you though, it sounds like most of them break free with other methods without resorting to the tool.
