SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM INJECTOR SLEEVE REMOVER & INSTALLER
- THE EXPANDER

Time Efficient Design

The Expander, specifically designed by Ferrum Tools, is a technical masterpiece tailored for use with X15, ISX15, and QSX15 engine models. This tool revolutionizes the process of injector sleeve maintenance in these specific engines, known for their advanced overhead cam design.

It operates by securely attaching to the injector sleeve within the engine's bore, utilizing a specialized mechanism that accurately expands to grip the internal surface of the sleeve. This precise engagement is crucial for the tool's dual functionality – enabling both the removal and installation of injector sleeves without the need to disassemble the cylinder head.

At the heart of The Expander's efficiency is its precision engineering. The tool is designed to ensure a perfect fit and easy maneuverability within the engine. It allows for a swift and accurate removal or installation of the injector sleeve, reducing the risk of damage to the engine components.

In application, The Expander is inserted into the injector bore of the X15, ISX15, or QSX15 engines. Once in place, it expands, forming a snug fit inside the sleeve. The tool then employs a combination of rotational movement and a calibrated pulling or pushing force to either extract the sleeve or install it firmly in its designated position.

This method is significantly more efficient and less invasive compared to traditional techniques, which typically require the cumbersome step of cylinder head removal. By bypassing this step, The Expander not only cuts down on maintenance time but also reduces the likelihood of incidental damage to engine components, ensuring a safer and more efficient maintenance process for these specific Cummins engine models.

Typically, the tool is inserted into the injector bore, where it expands to make a firm contact with the inner surface of the sleeve. By turning the tool and applying a controlled pull or push force, the sleeve is either extracted or seated accurately into its position. This not only streamlines the procedure but also minimizes the risk of damage to the sleeve or surrounding engine components, a common challenge when using conventional tools.
