Already doing Glow Plugs How much Longer to do injectors while in there?

[777funk]

My title is what I'm wanting to know. This is on a van by the way. I don't know if that makes it easier or harder. But I figure this is a good time to do it, generally how much time would injectors add?
thanks!

add a coupple of hrs buy the time you evac the cylenders (oil & fuel from injector removel), put the o-rings on and install .

it took me two days. i had mine rebuilt, so pulled one day and installed another day. the drivers side is easy, the passenger side is another story. number 5 IIRC, hits on the firewall, and you might have to drop one side of the rear motor mount to get it out. would have gone faster if the the nut on the dip stick bracket would have let go (had to cut with a hack saw and weld back together). oh year, use gloves when prying out injectors, i didnt and my hands took a beating.

good luck.

I've heard that the solenoid can be removed/reinstalled from the injector to make the job easier. That supposedly lets it fit in there.

Hello,
I've go a 95 that I just did glow plugs and "O" rings. On my truck under the insulation on the A/C box is what looked like a vacuum reservoir. It unbolts and leaves enough room to get the injector out. Its not too big of a deal. A buddy and I did it all in one after noon. Good luck.
