Hi Y'all!

Okay, I've wrestled with this thing long enough! How do I torque the top part of an injector on my D24? The bottom is a regular hex nut design (27mm), but the top part has only two flat sides (22mm). How the heck am I supposed to torque the top part down with the two fuel return ports sticking up on two sides? I've been told that the torque is 50 ft-lbs for both the top AND bottom sections, which I have found out is right, but that does me no good if I can't get a torque wrench and some sort of socket (or something!) on the top part. It has been suggested that I use a crow-foot wrench, but I have yet to find those in 1/2" drive, like my torque wrench (I know, I could use a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter), but clearence is really minimal. Can't get hardly anything in alongside the dang thing (it's the #1 injector)! I thought a 7/8" deep socket might just be the ticket for getting the job done 'til I saw the return ports. Do these ports unscrew? Also, just in case I rip the return lines getting them off, what size (I.D.) are those things?

The problem is that I have a leak coming from where the two sections join. Ain't much, but it's too much for me!

I'd sure 'preciate any help on this.
