Injector Sleeve Removal Tool, Paccar MX-13 Series

Injector Sleeve Removal Tool for PACCAR MX-13 Series Engines - Controlled Extraction

This Injector Sleeve Removal Tool, manufactured by Irontite Products Inc., is a specialized, multi-component assembly precisely engineered for the safe and controlled removal of old injector sleeves from the cylinder head casting in PACCAR MX-13 Series engines. It consists of a threaded puller screw, bushing, puller nut, thrust bearing, and two thrust washers. Used after the old sleeve is internally tapped (with tap 423-6334-14 and guide bushing 423-6331-32), the tool is inserted, torqued to grip the sleeve, and then reversed slightly to relax threads before the puller nut extracts the sleeve. This essential tool is an included component in The Complete PACCAR MX-13 Series Kit with Toolbox (450-6331-00), with its components proudly Made in USA.

Function and Key Components:

The primary function of this tool is the controlled extraction of worn or damaged injector sleeves. The assembled sleeve remover is a multi-component system, consisting of:

• A threaded puller screw: Designed to engage with internal threads cut into the old sleeve.
• A bushing: Provides a stable bearing surface against the cylinder head casting.
• A puller nut: Used to apply the necessary force to pull the sleeve.
• A thrust bearing and two thrust washers: Facilitate smooth, low-friction operation as the puller nut is tightened, converting rotational force into linear pulling force.

Detailed Method of Use for Efficient Sleeve Removal:

The removal process, while precise, is made efficient with this specialized tool:

1. Preparation (Pre-Tapping): Before using the removal tool, ensure the valves have been removed from the cylinder head. The old injector sleeve must first be internally threaded to provide a gripping point. This is achieved by tapping the sleeve to a depth of approximately ⅜” to ½” using a specialized tap (Part Number 423-6334-14) and a tap guide bushing (Part Number 423-6331-32). During this tapping process, it is crucial to lubricate generously with “EA” Lube (Part Number 468-9910-08), and an injector tube clamp (Part Number 423-6334-40) should be installed to prevent the sleeve from turning.
2. Tool Insertion: Once the sleeve is properly tapped and the injector tube clamp is removed, the assembled Injector Sleeve Removal Tool is carefully inserted into the cylinder head, aligning the threaded puller screw with the newly cut threads inside the old sleeve.
3. Engagement: The threaded puller screw is inserted down into the old sleeve and then torqued down until it grips tightly with the threads.
4. Thread Relaxation: To facilitate smoother extraction from both the cylinder head and later from the tool itself, the puller screw should then be reversed approximately ½ turn to slightly relax the threads.
5. Setup for Pulling: Position the bushing between the puller nut and the face of the cylinder head casting. The thrust bearing and its two thrust washers are then placed between the puller nut and the bushing, creating a low-friction surface for tightening.
6. Sleeve Extraction: Finally, the puller nut is tightened. As the nut is tightened, the threaded puller screw pulls the old sleeve cleanly out from the cylinder head casting.
