How to Remove and Replace Fuel Injector Filter Baskets 

This is great - thanks so much. I had tried my first filter just with a wood screw but no way was it shifting. You can hear the crack in your video as the basket seal breaks which shows how tight they are. Totally agree they need to come out so the injector can be back flushed Thanks again

Martin, thank you. I've been struggling to remove the filter baskets on my injectors. I had no idea one of these tools were available! Love your enthusiasm and easy manner. Thank you for such an excellent video. Liked and subscribed!

Thank you for the detailed explanation!!! A true professional willing to share his knowledge & experience is awesome to have.

I was wondering what those things were in the kit I just got. That's a cool flush tool.

Nice. Ordered a bag with 100 filters :)

I didn't even know those could be replaced, Thank Martin.

Great video, you’re a life saver. I was struggling to put the filter back in until I saw your video.

Hi from the UK. Got the injectors out of my 21 year old Z3 and in the middle of giving them a diy service. Your video has been a great help. Thanks a lot.

I see a lot of fuel injector videos on here using gum out or seafoam poured in an ultrasonic cleaner with a fuel injector battery pulse to open and close the valve automatically. Watching your video...I believe it's best to replace the filter rather than clean it.

It's very easy to listen to you explain. and learn from you. Thanks

probably the nicest gentleman on youtube..nice one Martin.all the best to you.

Good instruction video, easy to follow. The only thing I would do and use and have used differently is the small hammer, I wouldn't use a brass headed one but an aluminum headed one on these tiny delicate brass filter baskets. Brass on brass there isn't any shock absorbing factor there, basically hard against hard, the aluminum on brass has a cushioning factor going for it. The aluminum is shock absorbing. I'm not sure if you can buy them, I make my own of different head sizes as I have a machine shop. I'm not saying not too use brass but you will notice the difference using an aluminum driver/hammer and you won't markup or damage the brass surfaces as an extra bonus. Again thanks for the video.😎

Holy hannah you sure have changed alot over the past 9 years. before you used to look like one of my mates. now you remind me of my dad (but he's rocking the bald & white beard look)

Good job Martin ,profassional work

I tried to rebuild the injectors on my sedan years ago and did more harm than good since that was before I decided to just not cheap out and not buy the special tools (for many things not just this), especially because of how many dollars I’ve damage I’ve done trying to save money on tools. Maybe my injectors are the cause of my 98 XJ getting about 6mpg (hey didn’t you make the AW4 flush video? That was the best video for that job). Hopefully at least 2 or 3 injectors are okay mechanically because the rebuild kit was $20, not that that’s a bad price at all!

Nice job Martin.Looking forward to the shoot out video.....

Learn something new everyday, thank you sir 👍😁

Cool I just bought the tool and I’m going to rebuild my 4 cyl jeep injectors.

Think the ring your talking about is the pintle cap which is replacable and meant to be replaced as often as the other components

Martinbuilt: another super video. I’m gonna get the removal tool, 50 basket screens and maybe hammer soon. I’ll use your links as I often do. I tried at the local u pick u save they said they never heard of you can ya imagine. WTH. LOL

Martin the oring that you said is not replaceable, actually, it is. it is a oring retainer. i make myself those retainer with a plastic hose. and in china they sell them. after you buy it you have to use something to expand the retainer a little bit.

Nadie lobhabia mostrado antes muy bien gracias!!!

I use an appropriate size drywall screw & vice grips to pull them out. Love that tool & I'll have to pick one up. Also use heated ultrasonic cleaner on them, never had one go bad cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner ? I don't even bother trying to clean the baskets, I juist rip em out & install new, they are cheap. Great vid. SIR as always, you have some " KRAZY SMART MODS. that you do & your fab skills are " TOP NOTCH ". MAN DO I LOVE THAT HOOD SCOOP YOU FABBED & THE MUFFLER YOU BUILT SIR.

That little ring you said is probably unreplaceable, is actually replaceable.

Looking on how to remove the top cap on a hitachi oem fuel injector on my 2006 Subaru sti

I’m 40 seconds into the video and I already like you lol. Auto play started this video, I have 0 need in watching you do something I already know how to do, but I gotta support the algorithm since the video already started lol.

This is a great reference video - thanks!

Very easy to do! Thanks

Great demo video. I bought this tool after I struggled with those pesky trying to remove them with a crew and a vice. I think it will be worth the $8.

Hi martin, another great and timely vid for me. I'm doing my filters tomorrow. One question though...do you think using my arbor press to install them would be better than striking them with a hammer. My thought is, it would be more controllable and less "abusive?" (For lack of a better word) than a hammer. Thank you for all the great wisdom you give us.

PLACING A PIECE OF METAL ACROSS CAN GIVE A WIDER SURFACE AREA TO HAMMER & PREVENT ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGING THE SIDE OF INJECTOR

A really good and professional video. I subscribed😁

Awesome video. Thanks.

have you ever found seat motors, or a a way around broken gears in the seats. I have 2 WJ s one 6 cyl. 1, 8 cly love both. Watch as many videos as you put out. keep up the good work.

Martin, Hey and thanks 😊 🙏 from poor old lady.

Great video Martin, how would I know what type of filter basket to buy? I have a 18 F150 3.0 diesel. Thanks

Great stuff, thanks captain!

How do I get the right filter baskets for my 2014 Ford Mustang v6 3.7?

I have a Yamaha f60tjr can’t find the filters/baskets my injectors… please help!

How do I know what size filter to buy for a 2015 Ford Taurus 3.5L fuel injector?

Nice video

12 flashlights ... Someone goes to Harbor Freight. LOL!

Does GM injectors have a filter basket? I'm referring to the LS applications.

HI how are you? good job. i want ask you abut how can replace the filter of GDI injectors.

Pretty cool. For the average Joe, wouldn't it be better just to buy new injectors?

Great info. Do you think this will work for an 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.7 motor?

Hi Martin. Thank you for the video. Great work. Do you also do this professionally?. If you do, I would like to send you set of 6 injectors to be cleaned and rebuild? Thanks

Marvellous! But how do I get the tool? I am in Cameroon. Thanks

Good job 👏

Where can I find a filter for any car? My car is 2012 gmc yukon

Martin witch filter I can use for white injector with withe rubber ? Jeep wj 4.7 PT. I Ask because You put two links :) Thx for answers :)

I wish u were my neighbor...i replace timing chain tensioner on my 99 wj 4.7 ur vids are awesome and helpful if u could answer a question..i need know where time chain teeth left and right where should the v8 mark be?

Would it be ok to install new injectors without the baskets? I ordered new injectors for my 08 Honda Pilot and they didn’t come with baskets. They are standard ones from rockauto.

Great job, what do you think I the best injectors to use for out 4.7?

Also, where did you get that nice little brass hammer?

Thanks for the clear and well made video, although I didn't need to see removal process for all six injectors. Your Amazon link to the universal 50 filters is broken, and in your video description, I think you meant "reverse" flush, not "reserve" flush.

Gotta be a way of removing these without destroying them, one would imagine.

Do u reverse the injectors polarity to reverse flow them?

I have a question unrelated to injectors. Which brand of hydraulic chain tensioners do you recommend for the 3.7 Jeep Liberty engine?

Very helpful video, thank you! Do you know if those basket filters will fit the injectors for a GM 3.9 V6 ? (2007 Chevy Uplander Minivan)

Mr Martin. Just been wanting to ask this like forever. Will filters work optimally without filter baskets? Thanks

I've also subscribed

Just had injectors returned to me with that lip broke annnd somehow or another i think this is exactly what happened when installing basket. Not happy hoping we can resolve this.

Does a srt front bumper fit on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

I have a question about the little ring on the end that’s not replaceable. What if it’s scraped and/or dented? What can that cause/effect?

What do you do when the brass piece is stuck

Have you removed the filter baskets from a DEKA injector for a mercury outboard? I don't see a filter at all unless it is down inside the injector farther.

Question: Removed the filter baskets from older Bosch type top feed injector # INP-470. ( Japanese car ) The rebuild kit comes with smaller replacement filters 6mm X 3mm X 12mm and the original filter baskets are longer with 4 little ' nibs ' on the bottom (measured) 6mm X 3mm x 14mm. Is it ok to use the new shorter universal replacement filters?

What size are those filter baskets?

Can we improve fuel economy through injector choice on older vehicles ; like a Volvo B-230 F red block ?

Hey Martin, since you have a fair amount of experience with cleaning, testing and replacing parts on fuel injectors. I was wondering if you could maybe tell me if you ever tried different styles of pintle caps on fuel injectors, and if so have you noticed any specific or significant difference between the spray patterns with different ones. I am going to be swapping out some single hole injectors for some four hole injectors In a ZJ with the 4.0 engine. And I am wondering if it would be better to use the flat washer style pintle caps, or the cone style pintle caps. The Bosch type three injectors fit either style pintle caps, but since the ZJ never came stock with type three injectors, I am interested in knowing what might work best. And if you don't have any experience with this, maybe I just give you a idea of what to do on a Saturday when you want to learn something new. Thank you. Tim from Wisconsin

Will these filters work for my 2006 durango 4.7 flex fuel? I bought all new injectors from advance and they came with no filters...

I have an injector for my m800 which takes yellow top super/corolla injector 1001-87650..how do I know which filter baskets to get?

Hey man good job! I wanted to ask you how to you know what size injectors do you have cause i bought 6 siemens injectors used for my rb25 and the guy is not sure what size ( cc or lb ) the injectors was and are the filters for the injectors all the same size ? Thanks 🙏🏼🌹

Please im stuck i have done everything beside put belt back on and tighten everything down ..i turn key get p1492 or 3.. its not turning over do i need to move timing chain teeth parts on right and left of motor

My filter baskets are recessed into the injectors farther. Should I use a punch to get them down in there?

Thank you for the film. I have 2 injectors which are of somewhat different type, like shown in this film. 4x New Fuel Injectors for 2001-2002 Saturn SW2 SL2 SC2 1.9L I4 25178967 25178968 4Pcs Fuel Injectors For 2003-2005 Pontiac Sunfire Chevy Cavalier 2.2L 832-11211 I have the filter baskets same as shown in this film, but I see they will go through the top opening, kind of fell into the hole. Pls could you tell how to change the Basket Filters in those injectors. The filters are sitting deep inside. I ordered that tool the film is about, but don't know if it can be used on that type of injectors. I bought another type of injectors for the same car (2001 Saturn SL2), which are SET OF 4 ROCHESTER FUEL INJECTOR 1996-2001 SATURN DOHC 1.9L L4 on those same basket filters, but the injectors' sockets are different than original ones, so I'd better stay w/original type for right now. And in general it would be good to know what Basket Filters to buy and how to replace them on those injectors w/larger top inlets. Thank you again.

How do tou know what size filter to get . Thank you!

Martin where did the tool come from?????Thxs again.....

Hey brother can find that injector basket removable tool on Amazon?

look at all your freebie harbor freight lights, lol.

If you needed this video to learn on how to remove the filter, you probably shouldn't be working on anything in your car

WTF why not a full video instead of pratting about with click bait?
