Try this! Make sure nothing can run into the cylinder and spray a rust buster on top of the injector. Use the whole can if you must. Let set 12 hours and clean up all the spray. Use a LP torch or a welder to heat the area around the injector really hot!! Keep the injector as cool as possible. This should expand the block and give more clearance. You may want to do one at a time so they don’t cool off DO NOT TORCH THE RUST SPRAY! Most times heat will get something stuck loose!! Hope it works!!😊
I worked at a Land Rover dealership for some time and let me just say that representing the brand was quite difficult to say the least… Cars with ~10,000 miles were coming back with check lights and ticking noises. More so, we would fix cars and they would return shortly after with different problems!! If you ever look into buying a Land Rover, I would highly recommend looking into other options.

Most likely everything nowadays are made garbage I suggest you buy an older vehicle and rebuilt it from top to bottom than you have something that will last longer than the 2022
A little trick I’ve used on my Range Rover to get the injectors out is to remove fuel rail and whatever is attached to the injectors , pull the fuel pump fuse off leave the spark plugs in and crank the engine and let compression help you. I was about to to buy a 5 liter jug off gas and set it to fire but then tried this and it worked extremely well
I've watched almost all of Sam's videos and I have to say, this clip cemented my respect for him as a diagnostician...and a backyard mechanic par excelance.
Not gonna lie, as Sam was talking about the injector removal with the slide hammer I thought a Corey Chase cameo would be hilarious. Dear lord I’m dead. A thank you for that perfect edit, this is why I love you.
I went through the same issue, i decided to take my time and not damage parts and leave the injectors soaking in PB blaster a few days, that worked so good I didn't need the slide hammer
Hey Sam, you do know you can put that bonnet into access mode, so it will stand straight up and make it easier to get access to the engine. Look on the hinges each side, pop the struts, boom, will open right up
@@rickmccl71 I can’t tell if you’re one of those old heads who’s salty you can’t fix everything with a flathead anymore or you’re just making a joke but out of all the goofy shit on this big piece of shit, better engine access is actually smart lol. Even LS guys (they won’t admit it) have extreme trouble getting to the back of the engine. Removing the cowl and hood would definitely help
Actually I am the person who did the factory service manuals on V8 SC engines and various other vehicles of JLR.. Apart from access issues its a pretty easy engine to work on. And if you have one, you will have to work on.. cheers.
A trick I learned while working on heavy equipment was... dry ice... Shrinks stuff beyond belief. Makes things bridal too so be careful but you should be able to pull them out very easily. Maybe with just a tug. That trick is so crazy I could put the hydraulic drive motors back together without a 15ton press. Yep, freeze em and they dropped right in then when the parts warmed back up the only way you are going to get them out is with a press. The pins for the booms?

Man Sam, I can tell you that is some serious tough love going on in your family. I do love the adult humor as well. I wish you a happy holidays from my family to yours. I love your videos, almost in every single video it feels like it's another David and Goliath moment. Although I have to tell you I did love the pizza car series with the oven the most.

Thanks, I enjoyed the video, I like how you don't give up and come up with crazy solutions, engine hoist to remove injectors, priceless. The last time i used my hoist was to remove shrubs around my house.
One of my favourite of Sam's videos. I felt disaster looming with each injector (and the Heath Robinson approach to pulling them with the engine lift was genius but felt deadly). Hopefully the good old Rangie will be putting again soon.
Completely new around here and have been watching a few videos here and there because of your skills and entertainment value, but I've got to say, with a cameo like that, you deserve the sub. That is some next level chess my friend which shows that you put the same effort into us that you do for your trade. That was totally unexpected. WELL DONE ! LOL!
This was hilarious to see the elation when each of those injectors being pulled by the cherry picker, came out in one piece. I know that feeling. You are on the cusp of saving 20 hours of your life from a miserable teardown/rebuild, but just one failure means disaster hahaha.
Hey Sam if you need to use that injector puller any more you need to alter the puller to make the length of the slide part longer so it has more of a pulling and shock to the injector. When trying to remove!!
My concern of pulling those injectors out with a cherry picker is keeping everything straight. Looks like a good way to break one. I bet there is a ton of carbon in that engine
Same happening to me but with an Elantra many years ago an injector fail and start to make a smoke curtain, but today I learning how to remove an injector in a Range Rover, thanks for that some day are going to be very usefull for me
Also, invest in few cheap moving pads and protect your fenders and front with headlights. For roughly $20 you could avoid damaging headlight that costs 50 times more.
Just a thought... Wouldn't it have been much simpler, given you have a bore scope and the plugs out, to prime the engine and see which one gets flooded? Maybe crank it to get the injectors going?
Hi Sam, I think the special slide hammer is the problem here. It needs to be extended so you have at least 12 inches of travel and a bigger weight needs to be fitted.
I had no issues when pulling the injectors on my XJ while doing the timing chain tensioner replacement. Pulled the fuel rail and ignition coils to have free access to the injectors and had no trouble pulling them. A couple solid pulls was all that was needed to break all 8 free.
Metal to metal press fit connections respond well to heat and cold. You should have taken a pinpoint butane torch to the block around each injector. They would have piped out with the slide hammer. When installing new injectors spray the contact circumference of each injector with a canned freezing spray and they will slide right in.
Hey dude, I was on the edge of my seat when you tried to yank it out without braking the injector, more suspense than a scary movie.i hope this is your day job
I bought an old Range Rover years ago. The MOT tester refused to do a road brake test on it as he said that he was afraid the body would leave the chassis! Apparently the reason RRs have great articulation is because the body is attached to the chassis by only 6 bolts and 5 had rusted through on my RR! I sold it as spares as the engine and transmission were fine.
Sam your skits are the perfect size and amount. Some others we won't name them, do whole 20 minutes long skits that blocks my fuel injectors completely.
Great job, knowledge is power. I own a velar, love it, still have 2 years warranty left, may take an extended warranty for peace of mind. They are great vehicles….when they are reliable.
You would make life a lot easier for yourself Sam if you put the bonnet ( hood to you) in service mode! I think I would modify those stupidly short slide hammer and get the sliding part almost double the length and make a heavier hammer part then get an air hammer underneath the slide and hammer it out that way. Using the engine crane although it has been working is a recipe for breaking them.
Nice video Sam. What I learned is....Not to buy a Range Rover. I have a BMW 7 series e38. I fix myself and I'm glad it's not that completed aside from the timing chain of which I'm doing now.
Sam- in dentistry, we have pneumatic crown removers that use compressed air to provide a sharper, quicker hit than a slide hammer. Could be you could get one, modifying it to attach to injector end of your tool, and ta da! Love the vids! Dr Hugh
Top tip, when removing a wheel (particularly when jacking up in a field) always place the wheel under the sill in case the jack fails. It could save your life if youre under it
Very clear diagnostic procedure! Next question, do we clean the remaining injectors before putting them back in? Of course! Actuate them then shoot some carb cleaner in them!
Every time I watch your videos it reminds me of the commercial back in the 80's.... the one with the monkey's smacking the drivetrain components with 2x4's yelling, "Gee boss, never worked on a transmission before". I totally like the creative & ingenuity, it is just funny sometimes how you get to where you are. Keep it up.
Sam you need to power the injector if you want to see fluid flow. It’s simple just use jumper wires to the connector. Once you power it with 12v shoot your fluid and you can see the pattern of the injector.
Hey Sam, I think you need to pull the injectors with a steady force not a dynamic puller. That is why they won't come out and self-destruct when you use a puller. You can spray some penetrating oil around the outside and try to rotate the injector body so that it will break free.
Aother suggestion would be put a load of tension on the cherry picker and add force with the slide hammer, even if you had to modify it first. I wonder if the factory uses some hi-temp grease when they install these? Sometimes a dry install is actually better - I've known Coppaslip to dry out and act like glue.
The old 5.4l Ford tritons the recommendation for getting the sparkplugs out was to fill the plug wells with carb cleaner over night. I think they trick may work for these since it seems like this is carbon build up causing the issue.
It seems to me the key to stuck things is pressure + impact. So the cherry picker + either a air hammer to vibrate things, or using that slide hammer to add some kick.
The way to remove those type of stuck injectors is soak the base of the injector with WD40. Keep spraying it towards the lower part of the injector.. If need be soak overnight. It will slowly drip down to the base of the injector to free it up. You'll know when it's free when you can turn the injector back and forth. But don't use too much force doing that. It will free up.
If you think those were difficult to take out, try the jaguar f-type with the hood vents , the injectors are exposed to the rain elements. They are pain in the neck.
The reason why the injectors get stuck is carbon buildup in the tips. They go directly into the combustion chamber. The way i get them out is: set the piston you are working on at Top Dead Center. So the piston is all the way up and all the valves closed. After that is Achieved, i fill up the one cylinder with Seafoam and keep it full while i pull that injector. It losens up the carbon and makes removal easier. That seafoam eventually is going to leak past the piston rings and make it to the oil. So i have an “oil change kit” ready, but dont change the oil until after the first test drive.
Is there a reason why you went straight to tear down? I don’t know much about LR/JAGS, but seems simplest first step might have been to try some HEET, Barrymans, or Seafoam top end treatment. It may have cleared up the stuck injector, and then no tear down necessarily. Granted it could have happened again if the injector was failing, and been a bandaid solution. At least if they do fail again you can get the parts replaced under FCP’s warranty.
The crazy thing is we have a 2008 Mercedes Benz GL550 with 265,000kms and it gave none of the problems this RR or pretty much any other RR has given even when much newer. It's just been changing out wear and tear items and the only failure we had was the rear tailgate motor failed. It wasn't a hard fix. I get that the RR has more of a luxurious feel but that means nothing if it's broken down or breaking down all of the time. I wouldn't hesitate to take our 14 year old GL out on a road trip, I wouldn't have that same confidence in a newer RR.
I'd be putting just a lil dab of white lithium grease around the sealing point of the injector when installing the new ones so they aren't so hard to remove the next time... 🤷♂️
I would probably use a pulley system taking notice on d angle of the pull to prevent d injecTor from bending. Use weights to apply a constant pulling pressure while lubricating the injector
Sam there's a really easy way to test and clean a injector using a 9-volt battery a clear tube and large syringe. You load seafoam into the syringe and connect the hose to the fuel input side of the injector. The syringe builds pressure and also forces the Sea foam into the injector. Then you connect the 9 volt battery to the positive and negative of the fuel injector using really tiny terminal lugs, connecting and disconnecting the positive just like a injector is pulsed you're pulsing it manually by connecting and disconnecting the positive. That way you're able to see the spray pattern and clean up the spray pattern.
Fake news. Have you ever owned one? The issue that he’s having is a wear and tear item that only happens on higher mileage Rovers and JAGUAR’s any of these high-end brands have a specific issue with their engines it doesn’t matter the make or model they all do I’ve been at Rover and Jaguar for over 20 years. I will admit the biggest issue that the jags and Rovers have especially in the 5.0 timing chains.

That seafoam eventually is going to leak past the piston rings and make it to the oil. So i have an “oil change kit” ready, but dont change the oil until after the first test drive.
On the direct injection stuff I have always had luck with heating the head up and then using a big pry bar
Have you tried the Double Dutch Rudder to get the injectors out?!?
Classic "Hold my beer" fix...love it...
Good job as usual Sam!
Is there a reason why you went straight to tear down? I don’t know much about LR/JAGS, but seems simplest first step might have been to try some HEET, Barrymans, or Seafoam top end treatment. It may have cleared up the stuck injector, and then no tear down necessarily. Granted it could have happened again if the injector was failing, and been a bandaid solution. At least if they do fail again you can get the parts replaced under FCP’s warranty.
Range Rovers are always the most headache, but they just look too good 😭
Corey chase!!! After reading comments,.. not many people know how "handy" a stepmom is
This is why you should always use a premium fuel like Shell V power or BP ultimate in cars like this. Cheap fuel is just not worth it in the long run.
Glad I found your vids, as I’ve been looking at 2016 Rover
The slide hammer needs more mass and slide travel to bulid up the force.
That twisty Thomas be wilding
make it happen sam,this is an awesome using your head moment
The crazy thing is we have a 2008 Mercedes Benz GL550 with 265,000kms and it gave none of the problems this RR or pretty much any other RR has given even when much newer. It's just been changing out wear and tear items and the only failure we had was the rear tailgate motor failed. It wasn't a hard fix. I get that the RR has more of a luxurious feel but that means nothing if it's broken down or breaking down all of the time. I wouldn't hesitate to take our 14 year old GL out on a road trip, I wouldn't have that same confidence in a newer RR.
I'd be putting just a lil dab of white lithium grease around the sealing point of the injector when installing the new ones so they aren't so hard to remove the next time... 🤷♂️
Yes a lil dab of flammable lithium grease.
Or copper or aluminum anti.seize
I would probably use a pulley system taking notice on d angle of the pull to prevent d injecTor from bending. Use weights to apply a constant pulling pressure while lubricating the injector
You got lucky pulling out those injectors Merry Christmas Sam it was nice to see your step mom again🎄love the video ⛄🐐
Merry Christmas to you too!
Great removal technique & diagnosis.
Can we thank the government and ethanol for this job ?
Try soaking overnight in Cola (yes the soda!) Nothing would shift the injector in my BMW and on a friend's recommendation this worked!
Curious, why are the cars always out in the field away from the tools? 🤔
Sam there's a really easy way to test and clean a injector using a 9-volt battery a clear tube and large syringe. You load seafoam into the syringe and connect the hose to the fuel input side of the injector. The syringe builds pressure and also forces the Sea foam into the injector. Then you connect the 9 volt battery to the positive and negative of the fuel injector using really tiny terminal lugs, connecting and disconnecting the positive just like a injector is pulsed you're pulsing it manually by connecting and disconnecting the positive. That way you're able to see the spray pattern and clean up the spray pattern.
Sam, will you ever learn that Range Rovers are indeed a nightmare for their owners? Cory's cameo was hilarious.
Their original owners are rich and would just ditch them and get something else. But their second and third owners get all the problems.
Fake news. Have you ever owned one? The issue that he’s having is a wear and tear item that only happens on higher mileage Rovers and JAGUAR’s any of these high-end brands have a specific issue with their engines it doesn’t matter the make or model they all do I’ve been at Rover and Jaguar for over 20 years. I will admit the biggest issue that the jags and Rovers have especially in the 5.0 timing chains.
