I recently picked up a cheap 2005 CRD Liberty because it has a glow plug broken off in the head. I figured "no big deal pull the head, do timing belt service and head gasket". Much to my dismay I found that not only do you have to pull the injectors to pull the head but that injector #4 is extremely stubborn. I rented the both the cam lock tools and injector puller from Sasquatch parts and they finally arrived today so I was super excited to make some more progress on this project. Now the problem - I for the life of me cannot get the 9075A to fit on the #4 injector to pull it out. I've tried all the combinations of tall and short legs I can think of and I can't seem to make it work. From where I stand it almost looks like it will only fit with the engine removed, is this correct? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Edit:When I said "finally" I did not mean to imply that the tools from Sasquatch took too long to arrive. They actually showed up much faster than I had expected

I didn't use a special tool.
I used some PBblaster and a 3/4 open end wrench as a lever to slowly work it out.
Others have used a crowsfoot and extension to do the same.
Just take your time and keep working at it. Its very frustrating.

I should have mentioned lol - I let it sit for days in PB blaster, let it get warmed up with the block heater and then broke two snap-on crows feet trying to spin it. Also tried using a pickle fork with a 4 ft. breaker bar to pry it up and ended up spreading the pickle fork Renting the tool was my last resort haha

Will do, thanks!

If you already have the tool, take the legs off of it and use them sideways to support / brace the crossbar as it is perched on them.

It will be and look more than a bit fiddly, but will tighten up as you start applying force. You may want to apply some aluminum anti-seize to the matching faces of the washers and nuts to smooth their action.

I actually have a custom contraption now that I use instead of the factory tool.

Geordi any chance for a pic of the custom tool?
