In Focus: SP Tools Ford 6.7L Diesel Injector Socket Set

June 4, 2013
This tool gives technicians the ability to remove various injector lines.

The SP Tools 11400 Ford Power Stroke 6.7L Diesel Injector Socket Set comes as a 17mm 12-point flare nut socket that gives the technician the ability to remove various injector lines. With the geometry of this tool, injectors can be removed without breaking and damaging the electrical connections. The crows foot can be spun by hand under the bent lines and the long socket has the clearance required and linear shape to properly torque the fuel lines. This allows the user to torque the fittings without complex mathematical equations when using torque adapters.

  • This is a factory-quality tool that all Ford diesel technicians would be interested in purchasing.

Features and benefits
