I'm trying to remove my old VP44 and I'm stuck on some of the injectors. I have viewed Diesel-Dan's videos but they don't help with this problem because he removed all of the injector lines from the head. I just want to remove 1,2, &4 and leave the others. I've loosened all of the lines at the back of the injector pump and removed 1,2 &4 but I can't get the lines for 3,5& 6 to push away from the back of the pump. I removed the bolts from all of the injector line hold down brackets. I know there are quite a few guys that have R&R'd their VP44's and did not remove all of the lines from the head and were still able to disconnect the lines from the VP44 and push them toward the block to get the pump out. Thanks for your help.

 

Some guys remove 3 of the injector lines. Don't bend them!!!
Your trans has nothing to do with it.

 

cut your losses and just remove the other 3 lines

 

The lines are removed in 2 groups of 3. Don't separate them....they will be very hard to get lined up again. No point in making an easy job hard.

 

x2, don't seperate each line and just pull the other three. Makes for an easy job having everything out of the way. If you're worried about #6, I had no issue using a crows foot - whatever that's worth to you.
