Removing piston squirters - How to OM606 ?
or weld a slinding hammer on on the squirters and hammer them out, that means you cant reuse them, but new ones are not so expensive.
be very carefull when you press them back in place the alinement with the piston has to be 100% or you break the tube of and have an engine faliure.

there are 2 ways 1 build or buy a special tool to pull them out look at KLANN TOOLS to see how it looks.

Thanks - that's an expensive tool!
Welding is a possibility I guess. Is there any special technique to press them back in, or is it a case of measure twice and then hammer it home?

I made a tool myself and take them out and reuse its ok 9 out of 10 times but that because I do engine remanufacturing for a living and its the same on all Mercedes engines so I need to do it often.

Well I put the piston and conrod in before the crankshaft so I am sure that they are sitting ok and make a iron bar that fits the top of the squirters and then just hammer them down and when the crankshaft is in turn the engine and check that's its ok.

That sounds straight forward.
How difficult was the tool to fabricate? I have a lathe and other facilities (no mill though) - I guess if it was a couple of hours work that might be worthwhile.
As you say, they aren't expensive and I've placed an order for 7 new ones (one spare so I can experiment..)

I used a long leg 2 arm puller (300mm) in the end. WOrked OK and was a pretty cheap tool ($50).
Next time I'll fabricate a proper part to go between bearing castings rather than using the center punch to pull against, but this worked OK.

Pulled all of the squirters tonight. Quite a lot of pressure was needed.
