Stuck injector line of 560 Diesel

dsp · Aug 9, 2018

Hey guys,
Finally have some time to tear into the 560 to replace the head gasket and the head's almost ready to come out except the #2 injector line will not come loose from the injector. The nut came loose but the line/sleeve is really stuck in the injector and won't budge. The other five all came loose with a few light taps from the mallet. This one, not so much. Anybody have any tricks they've used to get really stuck lines loose?
Thanks,
Dan

I use a wrench to jar the lines loose, a mallet is too soft. Those Ermeto sleeve ends can get REALLY tight, a good wrench hit upward under the line loop works best.

i smack them with the 3/4 " wrench when loosening them. thats what happens when you over tighten those lines. seen some people really get crazy with them.

Thanks for the tip, it took some strong whackin' but it finally popped loose.
