tips for 6.4 injector nozzle change.

dsberman94 · Jan 5, 2014

so like the title says does anyone have any tips for changing injector nozzles on the 6.4. ive watched the rubber mallet technique which was all i could find and it seemed to work for the guy really well. make sure i don't break the pins yes but any other tips or tricks? thanks in advance.

A good tip would be to not do it drunk.

Just do it like my Youtube video and you will be set. Its really pretty easy after you have done one and get the hang of it. Just take your time.

Rubber mallet worked great. I was surprised on how much soot came out of there and that was what named the truck officially. We've been trying to figure out a name for this truck for a few months and last night I asked for "the rest of sooty's injectors" and now it stuck. I didn't break anything. I did 7 and it went great. I turned to the owner of the truck and asked if he wanted to do one since we both watched the video and he got all the way to nozzle reinstall and then somehow broke a pin in the injector. But other than that it went smoothly. That one will be replaced tomorrow with a brand new one. Thanks for your help guys.

mine arent that clean even after the multiple baths in parts cleaner from doing the injectors and no matter what soap i use it still hasn't come off. next step is a shower with a scrub brush on the hands. i get to do this to a clean injector tomorrow so i should stay clean. then i get to step back crack a beer and watch a ford tech go to work on reassembly. but im glad you made the video and i hope it helps more people. thanks.
