Abstract
A high pressure fuel injector installation and removal tool for use on internal combustion engines can be used to precisely locate the fuel injector during installation. The installation tool provides an alignment guide, as well as the mechanical impulse necessary to fully seat the fuel injector in the base cavity. The alignment guide forms a location skirt with projected ears around the perimeter of the fuel injector during the installation procedure and thus provides a means to assure sufficient clearance between the fuel injector and surrounding components without need for visual alignment.
