ID850 injectors stuck in Whipple - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

yotaman96 · 11-12-2013, 09:56 PM

I have the Whipple off my car. I need to remove the injectors from the lower manifold. I've twisted and tugged, but they're not coming out. I don't want to break them. The o-rings look squished causing them to be stuck. Any suggestions?

Have you sprayed some lubricant around it to help it out?

yotaman96 · 11-12-2013, 10:23 PM

I've tried oil and PB Blaster. Wasn't successful with either.

it should pull out with some muscle, i use the body as leverage on my finger and pull up.... itll take a good tug, i would NOT hit with anything, you are less likely to "rip apart" vs damaging or cracking something with hitting it

I believe i had to damage an oring to get an injector out once. Can you cut, stick the o-ring with a needle or something?

I've had several people try to pull them out. No luck yet. I was thinking about heating them up a bit with a heat gun. If that doesn't work, I'll try cutting some of the o-ring. Stock replacement o-rings should work just fine right?

I believe there is only two common injector o-rings, so you should be able to find something to work. I normally use stock ones over what most companies sends.

Had to destroy the o-rings, but I finally got them out.

I *think* Maggies are supposed to use thinner o-rings than the stock ones but I'm old and forgetz a lot. Maybe that's why they were stuck.
