Procedure for replacing your 88 5kq fuel injector inserts/seals

[Robert Rossato]

And if you are still looking for a 13mm hex driver they can be had with
not too much trouble.

Snap-on carries them

As does Samstag sales.

They carry two different brands.  One made by Stahlwille, and a cheaper
one made by Matador.

ZD Mak tools probably also carries them, though I couldn't find it
readily when I did a quick search.

And I'm sure there are several others.

> The 13 mm Allen socket may be a hard find. Most stores only

> Standard metric Allen key kits only go to about 10 mm also.

> The KD 2305 is a half inch shorter than the KD 2306.

> To use KD 2305 for removing a 13 mm insert:

> I picked up the plastic inserts and various O rings this morning.
> I havent tried using the 13 mm tool adaption described above yet.
