This was educational for me, I have never personally seen anyone with the tools or ability and patience to achieve what you have done here. It's also a great example for anyone that needs to see just how hard they are to remove. Cheers mate

Thanks Matt for your kind words

😂😂😂 Fair play Dave, that was a challenge. Apologies for not having time to see the video for a few days ☹️ This engine was outside in the rain for around 12 months Dave & we had 2 injectors that failed. We tried to remove them but we didn’t have the determination or skill that you showed here. Other than that the engine was good. All very good pointers & tips on how to get out extremely stuck injectors though. I was on the edge of my seat & jumped when the weld’s snapped 😬😬 Thanks for taking the time to record it 🙏🙏

Excellent & very informative video, i’m just glad that I didn’t have the same battle in getting my volvo d5 injectors out. Keep up the good work 👍

Great bit of experimenting Dave, helps us all out. Thanks!

Excelente demostracion , me ocurrio con un injector de Mercedez Sprinter cdi, la gente no tiene idea lo problematico que es cuando un inyector se atasca de esta manera. Muy buena demostracion ! Felicitaciones por el video! Me encanto! Saludos desde argentina!

Strange how much I enjoyed that 👍

This video had me totally riveted ! Just as good as a thriller movie 😄 !

The most annoying thing is that if you really wanted that injector to stay put it would fall out

What a fantastic experiment.

Good watch dave. Good to see realistic videos like this. Shoes that things just don't go to plan sometimes.

Bravo! She gave a good fight.

When adding more mass to the pneumatic slide hammer, I think you'd need to add it to the moving portion to give it more impact on the travel stops. By adding it to the injector, I don't imagine it would help at all - if not, somewhat hinder it by trying move more mass with the same amount of kinetic energy from the hammer.

Hi Dave very interesting video! When I used to change injectors under warranty at Vauxhall a chap from vx technical in Newcastle told me his technique and it never failed on me. Number 4 was always a pig to remove like you’ve mentioned. I used the dealer tool, a tin of freeze and release spray and a air chisel…. Infact my first video on my channel is me removing one 😂 Keep up the good work!

Yrah Gruss these were well stuck and all broke. Yes, the freeze spray seemed to help. Heat or fluids had no effect. Do you think a running van would be easier as I'm thinkong this one being outside didn't help. Also were you just attached to the fuel pipe connection? Cheers

Did the injector tips come out easily with the head off?

at 9:49, the right idea, as it is in a sleeve, but use a butane or oxy torch, on the HOUSING, and then some "freeze and release" on the injector, this will cause shrinkage, hence break the hold the rust has on it.

@@davesterl No I didn't, as for diesels, thought most of them where steel, or cast iron, esp. the block parts (pressure in the combustion chamber is higher, so was a logical assumption), but Dugh!-thanks for reminding me, of course that's why the tools are a set of guided drills and reamers, to tap and pull, or to mill out the offending parts!

Super!!!👍👍👍

hello dave great video could you give me the link to buy the hydraulic tool that took out half of your injectors and I would like to know if it fits on other model thank you

I tought freezing might be better as causing that the metal are going smaller in size hesting expand the metal in size

Is there any upward pulling force on the nematic hammer? Maybe if the engine was upside down

Great vid Dave - Thank you.. If you were replacing the injectors... Obviously, stopping the dripping water on to the head maybe enough so the new injectors dont seize in.. Would you add an anti-sieze type compound to the new injectors as a precaution?? Thanks in advance

I’m surprised that none of the glow plugs snapped

Hi Dave thoroughly enjoyed your video, I wonder if you had heated the engine up by dropping the whole lump into a tank of boiling water , then using the freeze locally on the injectors would have helped with the coefficient of expansion being greater for aluminium or perhaps in an oven ? . as i watched i was thinking , ill bet he welds something to them , great job , I dont like to be beaten either

Anyone ever tried taking the clamps off and starting the engine? I did it once on an old Peugeot. Never found the injector. Its poor design you can't just change the head rather than scrap the motor?

Well, if Dave can't, no one can! I'm amazed Renault have got such a bad rep with this engine. Is that acetone and atf? That freeze it stuff works well with heat cycling. Heat everything up red hot and freeze it. Works great on heater plugs.

Holy hell apparently I've been dealing with easy injectors compared to this! I wasn't even aware there was a pnematic slide hammer and never considered using that hydraulic tool to pull an injector I've only ever used it for bushings and bearings. Bravo man, I couldn't stop watching. What pnematic slide hammer do you have?

Hi Dave. Next time use old brake fluid as your lube. It creeps down into the injectors and the heat will wake it up. Glad i didn't buy that pneumatic tools, it probably works well but i saw many stuck injectors before. Old brake fluid works
