At 69.9mm it's too long - there isn't room to fit any kind of drive between the
end of the driver and the inlet manifold. BTDT - Geodore make a very similar
driver. Most of the length is in the bit (38.9mm against 31mm for the socket
body) so I suppose I could chop a bit off - the fuel injector seat is fairly
shallow.
A pity they don't do a "FAMXS13".
I wound up using a cut-off piece of a Beargrip 13mm in a Langline wrench.
It's _very_ quick. The injector seat thread is very fine pitch - it takes a
good seven or eight turns to get the thing out. Very tedious with a standard
60 degree-at-a-time Allen key.
Job's done for the next 100k, though.
