Figure 1: The Ford Power Stroke 6.7L Diesel Injector Socket, No. 11400, from SP Tools helps technicians remove injectors without the rise of damaging their connectors in the process. Ford diesels often have injector-caused misfire conditions, so specialty tools like these are necessary to repair the issue.

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.

Selling points

  • This is a factory-quality tool that all Ford diesel technicians would be interested in purchasing.
  • Something new to bring to local Ford dealers and independent performance shops

Features and benefits

  • The sockets are designed to not damage the delicate plastic plug connector on the injector, which can have a replacement cost of over $500 each.
  • Sockets allow easy access to the hard-to-reach injector location making injector removal much quicker.
  • Two different socket designs: one is longer and allows for accurate retorquing of injector fuel line, the second one is shorter and can be spun by hand under the fuel line for quick removal of fuel line nut.

Application

  • Any kind of fuel system repair on Ford’s new 6.7L diesel in their super duty trucks.
