Product Details
No specific written or video instructions are included, but here is a summary of the steps required to perform this job:
- Remove the intake manifold
- Remove the glow plugs
- Remove the mutli-spline collar nut (special tool required not included here - see related below)
- Install the fitting on end of our new model slide hammer
- Tighten the threaded end of the slide hammer shaft down tight to the special fitting
- Multiple upward hard hits of the sliding hammer will be required to pull the prechamber out of the head
- Clean the prechamber thoroughly before reinstalling

NOTE: If you remove the valve cover and gasket you can use heat from a good electric heat gun to heat the head slightly to aid in removal and replacement of the pre-chamber.
