Greg,
That’s a great idea. I’ve never seen a distributer wrench like that and wonder if you can tell me where to get one? Mine would need to be 7/16” since that’s the size of the nut I welded on top of the socket.
Thanks,
John

Subject: [LML] Injector Changing Tool
|
After seeing the recent discussions revolving GAMI injectors and swapping them out, I would like to purchase or borrow a tool from someone who has it or has made one so I can swap my injectors a bit cheaper.
My local FBO/maint has been charging me about $150 each time (1.5hrs of labor) for my #6 injector and after the last flight of not seeing the right results, I am not paying it any longer- if I had this tool I could swap it out much easier (not having to remove intake tube)
Please email me if you have one and would be willing to rent/loan it out
Brian N707LH - Lancair Super ES Atlanta, GA I have an idea for you to make a torque wrench adapter but be prepared to spend up to six dollars on it. The angles on a car distributor retainer nut wrench and a short open box end wrench allow the ends to match the vertical axis of the injectors so that you can use your torque wrench without doing any math. The shape circumvents the intake runners. Don't forget the anti-seize. |
