Anyone have a tip on how to remove the stubborn copper seating washers from Lehman 120 injectors without damaging the injector?
Was asking how to get them off, not how to reuse them.
Then asked how much for rebuilt injectors, Bomac said $75 withe cores.
Thanks, anyone order replacement injectors from American Diesel lately? How much?
I will try a search also...thanks...

Thanks everyone, got the washers off, carb cleaner with a twist worked.
May hold off on new injectors as these only have 2200 hrs on them, hopefully cleaned up they will last till 3000 as they were working fine on takeout.
New from American Diesel costs about $100 as of about a year ago. Why bother with rebuilding for $75 plus shipping when you can have new for not much more.?
Bomac quoted me rebuilt $75 with a core, and $750 with no core last week. So don't break the ones you got.
If your injector was so badly carboned that you had to fight to get the washer off, either your engine is running too cold (below 180 degrees) or the injectors are damaged from water in the fuel and are not atomizing the fuel properly and are also dribbling after the injector pump pressure drops. Many injector shops in BC and likely where you live as well will test them for free or for about $25 each. Do this and you will then know exactly what condition they are in. Injector rebuild kits contain all the critical working parts to make them just like new again and each injector is tested after reassembly. Buying new injectors is a total waste of money.
There are no "new" injectors for these engines according to them if I understood them correctly.
I offered some useful information in a spirit of helping out. If you put your old injectors back in you will need washers.
I got my injectors rebuilt by a gentleman in Wisconsin for $25 each including washers plus the cost of mailing. I sent my old ones in and he sent me 6 rebuilds. He specialized in combines but I can't remember his coordinates.
Yeah sorry, didn't mean for the second question mark....I know the lines are separate. Someone seemed to insinuate they are automatically replaced or come with a set of injectors.Thats what the lady told me at Bomac and the reason I assumed the $750 was for 1 new one. Maybe the guy can get his machine shop to build replacements. Dunno.
"And what new steel lines? They don't come with injectors? "
Bomac priced the lines separately when I called. ebay has "complete sets" of lines. the pics dont show any injectors.
Just a question about the annealing part.
I imagine the use of the copper washers are because they compress and are able to withstand the combustion pressure. Does annealing them cause them to fatten (soften) back up so they are soft enough to re-compress?
I ask because I simply reused my washer when I took all my injectors out to soak them in seafoam. Possible not the best way to do it, but she runs like a top.

Oh, I misunderstood the OP.
I thought he was talking about an Ejection Seat. I figured I could always use that.
