How do I remove seized fuel injector on a John Deere 790 compact tractor with a Yanmar 3TNE82A-EJK engine?
The tractor is stalling out after running between 20-90 seconds and I have diesel in the engine oil. I was going to remove the injectors as I troubleshoot the cause. However they seem seized up. I removed the high and low pressure fuel lines as well as the two bolts on each side of the fuel injector. I thought the fuel injector should slide out then. Is there something else I need to do in order to remove the injector?
I changed the fuel filter. It was very dirty with what appeared to be a rust like sediment. I drained and replaced the engine oil and filter. Now I want to check out the injectors but can not get them out. I did not want to torque or bang them up to much attempting to get them out until I made sure I had disconnected everything as I should to prepare them for coming out. Do they screw out or is there something else keeping them in place that I need to remove?
