Instuctions for removing injectors

Could some one PLEASE give me link to the instuctions on TDR or any good set? I am tryin to figure out if I can do this or not. My truck only has 15k on it so I am a bit nervous about rippin that deep into it.

Also does anybody know how hard it is to change the nozzles once the injectors are out?

So bottom line, with some instructions, should I do this myself now or waite a year once I got a grand or 2 and pay full price for the injectors and let somebody else do it?

I saw the injectors out on the bench. It looks like the nozzles just slip on but I might be wrong.I didnt see them get pulled but it sure didnt take em long. I was out the door by noon & that included 2 dyno runs.

If you have the tools and patience you can do it all yourself.

Changing the injector tips is a very delicate task but is very do able.

Make sure that if you install the nozzles yourself that you lube the needles inside the nozzle before you install them. I have seen it done without doing this, but sometimes they don't seat and can be drippy at idle. I am sure there are people that know a lot more about injectors than I do and this is just from personal experience.

Basically the nozzle is 2 parts. When you get them the center part in the top of the nozzle will come out. I always take them out and put some clean diesel on them and then slide them back in. Once they are in I rotate the needle around a few times. This is a quick and simple thing to do and it seems to make sure the needles seal.

Also make sure you get the coppers out with the injectors and put new coppers in. Leaving a copper in the bottom of the injecotr cup can be a really bad experience.

Here is the same thing, but I will let you read it as much as you want. Pay-to-use sites are lame.

OTC now distributes these - your local NAPA can order them. The new part numbers are MLR-9010A and MLR-9015. They are not inexpensive...
