Abstract
Embodiments relate to a removal adapter configured to engage a fuel injector secured to an engine and to allow for the removal of the fuel injector from the engine without damaging the fuel injector. The removal adapter is slid over the fuel injector and engages the fuel injector via a ridge. The engagement via the ridge places most, if not all, of the force on the strongest part of the fuel injector.
