When you buy this socket look inside and make sure there is enough clearance for all of the upper part of the injector when the retchet wrench is hooked up to it. Sears/Craftsman has an extra deep socket like this that is resonabley priced. I have been using mine (1-1/16. 12 point) since 1976 and it has survived a lot of injector removals/torqueing and even ocassional impact wrenching (not recommended).
