Additive specialist LIQUI MOLY has introduced the Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Dismantling Aid. This innovative product can easily combat the common problem of removing stuck injectors.


Removing injectors can be difficult. Hardened combustion residue sticks them to the engine and rather than use mechanical force, LIQUI MOLY say it is much simpler to remove by means of chemical intelligence.

LIQUI MOLY Application Technician Reiner Schönfelder explains why injectors are so hard to remove, "Combustion gases, fuel vapours and oil mist escape from damaged seals. They form a tar-like, glass-hard residue in the attachment shaft of the injector, causing an apparently insoluble problem."

If you try to remove this residue with a tool, components can get damaged, not least the injector itself. The result is an increase in the time and cost involved. Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Dismantling Aid contains a special solvent developed precisely for this purpose. After a reaction time of 15 to 30 minutes, it softens the caked resins, oil residues and dirt crusts. The soiling is then easy to remove and the injector can be effortlessly removed, without damage. In the case of stubborn deposits, Reiner Schönfelder recommends allowing the Injector Dismantling Aid to take effect overnight. It works not only with injectors but also when removing glow plugs, too.

To avoid the problem in the first place, technicians can use the Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Grease for installation purposes. This high-temperature paste prevents solidification and galling, as well as providing protection from corrosion.
