OTC 5060 Detroit Diesel Injector Socket: Ideal for GM 6.2L and 6.5L Diesel Engines Review

This socket works well and will last for millennia if you don't lose it. This bushing is too long to remove all the injectors from the van while the engine is still in place.

Perfect for 98 GMC K3500 with 6.5 turbo diesel. My husband was thrilled that he has one so he can do his own injector work. He said it worked very well. The best price I could find online or locally. Act!

Very loose fitting 12 point hex nozzle head with rounded edges. Rounded out the socket immediately when trying to get the old jets out after having to file the corners of the square drive to fit the ratchet or 3/8 extension. Very very bad quality for the price. I ended up finding a really cheap 30mm 6 point 1/2 head that worked fine. This is very expensive junk.

Perfect size, thin enough to fit between the injector and the casting in the head. The ability to use a socket wrench or an open-end or open-end wrench helps a lot in tight spaces. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 just because it feels like it should be a bit tighter around the jets. I had to screw the injector back into the head a few turns only to loosen the bushing with a few wiggles because it was too tight to get out by hand. I don't know them all, but mine could be a little smaller to fit…

This socket is designed for one use. Removing a Bosch injector from a 6.5/6.2g diesel engine. How could he fail at this one task?! It's free and it's a nest of stars. Bosch nozzles are rounded on the corners so you can see in my photos why they easily overshoot. This should come in handy since OTC and Bosch are owned by the same company. I have included photos of my old socket set that I used for this job. It cost me anywhere from $5 to $20 for a port set. Remember, if your fuel return lines…

Other reviews of poor finish on 3/8" square hole are correct. 8" wrenches or Craftsman extensions or other quality wrenches with squarer ends. But I was able to use an unnamed (probably Chinese) 3/8" extension that had a fairly rounded 3/8" end and fitted snugly into a vaguely square 3/8" hole on the socket. A 3/8" hole with a file will probably work, but I need to get that, and it shouldn't involve an expensive head. Otherwise this head seems to work fine without damaging the small fuel return
