Some have had to soak it in Kroil or PB Blaster for a while to disolve the buildup. Try not to let too much gunk get down the hole onto the precup area if you can.

You put all new injectors and now one injector is burned? How long ago did You replace this injectors? What fuel are You using regular #2? Are You using a torque wrench to install the injectors?

As said above You can try to free it with pb blaster, if that doesn't work I would try to force it out with out damaging the threads. Can You see the washer inside? What cylinder is it on?

I have used a flat screwdriver the size of the injector nozel and been able to twist the washer loose from the hole in the middle. Does that make sence?

Sorry to hear you are having some problems... I'll try to so you the way.. First off why did you buy from a known poor reputation place like Diesel Carenot??? We have posted so many bad deals from them I'm surprised anybody buys from them. Sure, some have had good experiances with them but not any that will post it here. Secondly they make a very poor product. They have been doing this with the rebuilt and new injecters for a long time. Just ask around here or read it up above. The factory torque on the injecters is 35 lbs... Not 50 lbs. Injecters don't burn out. Who told you thats whats wrong with yours?? Now that someone has told you all the wrong things you have done please try to understand this... We have been down the diesel care road many times before and the results are mostly the same... Crappy parts and the warranty is just not happening like they state it will. Read what happened to several other members up above then make up your mind about this shop.. You are not alone with problems from this outfit either. We do try to keep others from making the same mistakes we have. Keeping money in your pockets is just a small part of why some of us are here. Now for the copper washer. Use the new washer as a gage and find a screwdriver that just fits into the opening. Now drive it down into the injecter bore but not so hard that it gets stuck in the head. Twist it and the gasket will free up. Post back how it works out. Again, sorry you found out the hard expensive way about a crappy place doing business...

You can do the screw driver trick or better yet, get a long bolt that matches the inside and thread that into the hole of the copper washer using a wrench. Theres no way that washer can stand that kind of torque and even if you can get the bolt threaded into the washer, you can pull it out now by using the bolt.

What happened? were you able to get a bolt threaded into the washer? 5/16" NC bolt is ideal. Give the penetrating oil more time to work and try again. Don't give up yet.
