I got my injectors replaced this weekend. Due to the help/advice from this board I think maybe I set a new time record. I changed all injectors, return lines, glow plugs and the fuel filter in about 6 hours actual shop time.
I took a cheap 30mm and a 3/8sprk plug socket, cut both apart and tig welded the 3/8 end on the 30mm opening. THIS worked great! the 3/8 gave me more room for clearance and the hex end allowed me to use a wrench when needed(#6 and 4). The hardest thing was probably remove the heat sheild on the pass side :mad: This was when I made my sacrifice to the blood gods which seemed to keep them happy for the rest of the job :D
I did not remove the turbo and did the majority of the drivers side work from the bottom through the wheel opening. Number 8 was by far the hardest injectr and GP to replace.
Thanks again and I hope I can help someone else!
