stuck injector (rust)
Hi.
Not in my locost, but on my Lancia Phedra 2.2 JTD (actually a rebranded Pug 807 2.2 HDi)...
The mechanics are trying (for the last week!!!) to take the injectors out, but only one got out.
The one that got out is covered with a very thin layer of rust. The others don't move a bit, though they have been soaked in penetrating oil /
WD40 alike. They seem to be glued by the rust, and I need ideas to remove'em.
They have been receiving a few hammer touches, etc... but no good results...
Help?
Regards,
Joao

Hi.
The injectors are burried in the engine... which is burried back in the engine bay.
This monospace cars are quite pratical, but not to do any engine maitnance... 
Thanks,
Joao

When my spark plugs were stuck I was advised to use something like the 'artic spray' used by plumbers to freeze pipes- There is an
automotive version that also contains penetrating oil. In theory you spray it in the plugs, they cool to -40 and shrink slightly and this lets the oil
in. Sadly it didn't work for me, but may be worth a try.
Best of luck

JTD theyl be the long injectors that go down in the head??
A load of wd and a proper injector puller is the only way. A puller on a slide hammer is easiest.
I thought lania's were no more?
