Takeuchi TB016 Injection Lines Question

[wolfden793]

Hello!

I have a TB016 Takeuchi excavator that I replaced a broken water separator on and I may need to bleed the injectors. I put a wrench on them and turned them left to loosen, but they feel tight. Obviously I don't want to break the lines, so can someone tell me if they come off with a left hand thread? Just wanted to make sure before moving forward. I know these machines automatically bleed themselves when the key is turned on, but I think it may need a bit more help. Thanks in advance!

I’m quite certain they would be your standard thread counter clockwise to loosen. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen left hand threaded injector lines. Flare nut wrench would be the best

Thanks very much for your kind response. This machine has 1600 hours, so lines were never removed. We'll use the wrench you've suggested. Thanks again!
