Chasing a phantom cooling system over-pressurization or finding diesel fuel in your radiator? Worn or cracked injector sleeves on your Cat engine are likely the cause. The ATC6010 Master Kit delivers the exact concentric mechanical geometry needed to extract and press cups cleanly in-frame.

The Critical Engineering of Large-Bore Injector Cup Boundaries

On hard-working heavy diesel platforms like the Caterpillar C-10, C-12, C-15, and 3406E series, the thin copper injector sleeves (or injector cups) act as a vital shield. They form the single mechanical barrier that separates high-pressure fuel and extreme combustion heat inside the firing well from the engine block's surrounding liquid coolant passages. Over millions of extreme thermal cycles, these sleeves corrode, pit, or lose their tight interference fit. When a technician attempts to pull old sleeves out with unguided chisels, slide hooks, or improvised pry bars, they are falling into a high-risk trap. One minor slip or off-axis blow will permanently score the soft aluminum or cast iron cylinder head receiver bore. This creating a permanent leak track that can ruin a fresh cylinder head casting. The ATC6010 master tool eliminates this hazard completely by anchoring a parallel mechanical draw path, extracting old cups and driving fresh replacements home completely straight and level without removing the head from the truck frame.

• Complete Dual-Function Extraction & Press Array – Combines a specialized, positive-locking puller mandrel and a flat-seating depth installation driver into one turnkey set.
• Direct OEM Blueprint Specification – Engineered as a precision functional alternative and direct replacement for legacy factory equipment tool **9U-6891** / **9U6891**.
• Absolute In-Chassis Repair Efficiency – Allows mechanics to service all six cylinder wells completely in-frame, bypassing the tedious labor and downtime of a full cylinder head teardown.
• Broad Caterpillar Application Footprint – Comprehensive compatibility engineered to service heavy-duty Cat C10, C12, C15, and 3406E electronic unit injector (EUI) systems.
• Robust Shop Mass Configuration – A substantial 8.00 lbs package forged from premium-grade structural tool steel alloys designed to resist deformation across thousands of shop cycles.
