Please, if you don't mind, share what tool you used and it worked well, I saw that some tools had to be modified, etc, to make them work, so I know some work better than other. I purchased one online but was the wrong one, I want my next purchase to work, as I need to pull one of my injectors. Much appreciates it..! Thanks!

There are hundred of injector removal wrenches available on the web---use the search button!

johny75

I know that!... and some work better than other, so I am asking your experience out there on that. Also, some generic kits don't list our engines but some work and some don't at all. thanks

If you do it correctly you look in WIS for the correct tool part number--------post your VIN!

This is not my question, again!, the WIS listed tool is one of many tools that will work. I am trying to find out what people have used and share which one may better, maybe some are cheaper than other,etc . If you have not tried any tools, just say so, no biggie, my questions if for the people that have tried.

Listen, man!.., I don't believe you are here to help me, you are trying to tell me how to find out myself, etc, and argue with me, I got this from your 1st msg, back off!

My questions is, if anyone has tried different tools(brands,etc..), lets share and see which one works better. In general, as you know many vendors make tools to the do the same thing, but some work better than other.

I did all this when changing the timing chain. The thread is picture heavy and I go into the tools that I used to do this work:

Thank you "brother"! I did buy the Schley 12200 and it worked fine on the middle injector, it will on the front toot. However, for the back one, which I have not yet done I welded an extension to the rod so that the slide hammer go over the strut hump as there was no space to slide it. You may have done that work with the engine out , hence no issues on that part for you.., btw you did a HUGE job!!

I just did the middle injector, now waiting for a week to make sure no leaks are present before doing the rear one. I will post my injector replacement endeavor in a separate post, had to use honda seals, extend the hammer rod, cut the 17mm wrench, etc..

thanks!!

I did all that work with the engine in.

To access the rear injectors you remove the strut brace and the two small metal covers on the cowl (they are held on with sheet metal screws.) Once you remove them you have just enough room to work on the rears.

I see., good info, I did look at that for a sec but thought it would be too much hustle getting to the back bolts,etc..

Do you remember what torque you used on the injector bolts?

sak335

It's not a single spec on that bolt (which they call an 'injector claw'), but a series.

1. 7 Nm (62 inch-pounds)
2. 90 degrees
3. 90 degrees
