BobCat 863 changing the glo plugs

Kamofo ยท 2015-09-28 01:06

Is it necessary to remove the injector fuel lines to replace the plugs? If not is there a recommended tool to remove them? There doesn't seem to be enough clearance to get a deep socket in and not enough throw room for a ratchet. How would you bleed the air out of the injector fuel tubes after replacing the glo plugs? Thanks, JB

    i remove the fuel lines. shouldnt have to bleed the lines after removing them. it should start right back up as soon as the lines are filled. :drinkup

    Thanks for your advice on BobCat 863 glo plugs. Also have to replace the glo plug wiring harness. The caps weer very brittle due to past overheat. Thanks again. JB
