Sized injector
 
Replacing my injectors on my v70 2.0d..... two slid out and the other two are laughing at me. Any tricks before I remove the head?

You might need an injector pulling kit, some of them can be nightmares if they have been leaking and get carboned up.just try side to side moment on them with some leverage.
Don’t unscrew the tops as that is how they are calibrated.

Try soaking them with intake cleaner sometimes you get a bit of carbon build up on the side of the injector and leave for a while to work or try penetrating oil and leave overnight.

Volvo have a special tool for the task which is a slide hammer , these don't usually leak unless the fitting kit has been used twice and not renewed .

It’s a shame you are so far away, I have the injector removal kit here, ready for my swirl flap replacement.

Thanks for the advise and posts....


I've had them sitting in wd40 and diesel for a week again so will try the slide hammer again. The injectors wernt leaking so not sure why they are being stubborn. Got new washers with the new injectors so definitely won't be reusing the old ones.

Was a total headache bleeding the thing up so going to clamp off the supply and return pipes 🤯
