Re: 2003 Fuel Injectors 5.3
Guys, I took my screens out of the injectors and it was rather easy. I just took a drill bit that was barely bigger then the ring at the top of the filter and pulled the trigger on the drill for a split second, this seemed to loosen the ring up enough to get them out, I held the injector up and drilled like I was drilling underneath something to hopefully keep any extra debris out that I could, but I did not run the bit through the little screen. When I pulled the drill bit out it always pulled the little screen filter out and what was left was only the small ring at the top. From there I used an easy out for broken bolts and a crescent wrench and they came right out with a few turns. After looking it did not damage the inside of the injector at all, then I flushed them out with some sea foam. I ordered a kit similar to the one listed above for my correct injectors which came with the filters. My old filters were really nasty so this gives me some peace of mind.
