Has anyone had any experience with Mercedes OM442 engines and removing their injectors? We have a leaking injector seal and our mechanic does not have the tool to remove the lock nut holding it into the head. I'll be damned if I can find a tool or any related articles on the removal of them. The engine parts manual doesn't show a special tool but it looks like that is what we need.... Right now we are trying to cut down a 7/8" socket to fit the lock nut splines. Maybe we can make something work here...
Any guidance on this would be immensely appreciated because right now I'm so frustrated with it that I'm just about ready to just send this truck to an auction
