Extracting an 1.9 AAZ fuel injector - slide hammer?
Posted: 18 Feb 2017, 19:22
Evening all,
Usual, any help much appreciated if possible?
Trying to remove/replace one the aforementioned. Needless to say it ain't come out easily on first attempt. Now giving the thread a good soaking in WD 40 and will try again later, but Haynes manual (Golf-Vento book and aaz engine) says if having problems, try an injector puller or slide hammer.
Slide hammer? Does the action of this - slowly, you hope! - suppose to undo the tread with every hit?, is that how it's meant to work?
Plan B was either trying to get a long 'tommy bar' - about 6ft + say, and try to slowly turn the socket to get more leverage, but wary of snapping something doing that??
Any tips/help much appreciated.
