The ATC J-48922-A Injector Nozzle Puller safely removes seized or carbon-bound injector nozzles from Volvo FM12, FM440, FH500 and similar heavy-duty engines. Slide hammer design delivers straight, controlled force—prevents nozzle damage, cylinder head scoring, and costly secondary repairs during injector service and top-end overhauls.

The Critical Risks of Improper Injector Nozzle Removal on Volvo Heavy-Duty Engines

Volvo FM/FH engines endure extreme heat and carbon—stuck nozzles demand controlled extraction to avoid nozzle breakage or head destruction.

• Nozzle breakage – Pieces left in bore require $1,000–$3,000 extraction & head repair
• Cylinder head scoring – Pry damage mars bore, costing $1,500–$4,500 resurfacing
• Injector body deformation – Bent nozzles lead to $800–$2,000 replacements
• Downtime losses – Manual struggles extend service 3–6 hours, adding $600–$1,200 labor
• Fuel leak/contamination – Damaged seats cause leaks, totaling $1,200–$3,500
• Engine failure escalation – Severe damage demands full top-end overhaul ($10,000–$25,000)
