Fuel injector assembly apparatus and method

Abstract

A fuel injector assembly tool includes a frame coupled to a gun body, and a push rod configured to traverse through the frame and the gun body, the gun body having a fixed handle and a trigger for causing distal movement of the push rod as the trigger moves towards the fixed handle. The tool further includes a pressure rod coupled to or forming a portion of the push rod, the pressure rod being arranged and constructed to apply pressure to a tip of a fuel injector to compress springs within the fuel injector and maintain internal alignment of fuel injector components. In one arrangement, the tool includes a pressure rod adaptor nut coupling the push rod to the pressure rod. A method of re-assembly of a fuel injector using the fuel injector assembly tool is disclosed. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
