Anyone rebuild their own diesel injectors?

[AceOfHearts]

I have a diesel Land Rover 110 and would like to check/ clean / rebuild the injectors. It is mechanical injection so nothing fancy. I am having trouble finding someone local who will do this and none of the usual injector places on ebay want to do diesel injectors. I would rather not buy new due to horror stories about pattern parts and plus it would be good to learn something new.

Does anyone do this themselves?

Mechanical injectors are usually easy enough to take apart and put back together, but the break pressure must be calibrated afterwards and you need a suitable tool to do this (basically a high pressure hydraulic hand pump and pressure gauge). Cleanliness is very important.

At that price for the tester I would be buying myself, googling the details of the injectors & doing myself.

As above the stripping rebuild part is easy its the pressure setting that is a pain,I have actualy done it on site and guessed the settings it worked [lucky ? ] but surely theres a deisel shop near to you ?many agri shops may help

I'd be very wary of anything branded Nielsen, as a rule the tools are complete ste.

I wouldn't trust a hammer from them let alone a precision instrument !

There must be a diesel specialist near you, we pay about £25 per injector for test/clean.

There are plenty of companies on the interweb you can send them too if there really isnt anywhere near.
