tips on swapping tdi injectors Copper washer stuck Solved

I made my own using spare Vw parts kicking around the shop. The only part not pictured is a 02A flywheel for more weight.

Ha. Awesome. Maybe I just need to weld more weight onto my slide hammer.

That is the rule of all good mechanics.  Give me a bigger hammer.  That ought to fix it real good.

Yes even with 20 lbs I still had to hammer one of them 15+ times before it came out

Is the head on or off the engine?

Use a pick to clear out as much carbon as you can then tap it with a small punch. It should break free. You might be able to thread a bolt onto it if its ID is smaller than the nozzle hole.

Used a cv axle xzn 8mm bolt to get it out worked awesome.

So you hammered if in and tried unscrewing it basically?

I tapped on it to get a little bite into the copper then screwed it CW until it hit the alluminum and pulled and wiggled and it came out.

I see. You didn't use the triple square tool, but a M8x1.25 bolt.

No i used the xzn headed bolt and the triple square tool the key is that the xzn bolt had the taper on the end.
