<-----standing on front panel... 10lb slide hammer... 15min later...... im talking stuck... was so sweet when running you would see the stream of carbon pop out!! like a exhaust manifold leak...

Yep, I've seen this happen before as well.

And to confirm, it is m14x1.5

Interesting. I couldn't get 14x1.5 to fit, but 14x2 does. And I'm still not having any luck getting this thing out.

i think the nut i used was from a front strut aka 22mm one to remove to get the cup off the top.. but been a while..

i tiged black seam free gas pipe... hardware store less then buck.. and welded to nut that fits slide hammer.. you could use a bolt if need be with nut thru say a hub adapter fixture.. be a little offset.. but works...

also if you make said tool... lok at #1 and #2.. make sure it can clear the fuel pump.. too short.. with hub adapter.. clearance issue... the 10lb slide hammer i was using i had to do it that way as that slide hammer over 1/2" in diameter on the tube alone...

that 15+ min was horrific... i worked tooooooo hard

I tried for weeks to get these two injectors out with the slide hammer, and a 10lb weight added to it. No dice. I finally borrowed this from the guy that's rebuilding my injectors... he said he bought it 30 years ago while working on big rigs. I'd guesstimate that it took about 100 ft-lbs on that nut to break them loose.
