Injector lines - how do you torque them?
« on: December 14, 2009, 01:53:41 am »
How do you guys torque the lines between injector pump and injectors? Crows feet? I know I have seen a 'line socket' (is there a real name?) but I am having a hell of a time tracking one down.

With an end wrench :D
18 ft lb, so not real tight, and if it leaks, go just a hair more.

I do them with an open ended spanner, they arent overly tight so dont need anthing else.
You could use a pipe spanner(use it for brake pipes etc) if you were scared of rounding them off if they were very tight.
