How do you properly clean injectors once disassembled?
How do you clean the nozzles? I was going to use carb cleaner and a brass brush. In the FSM it mentions specially made brass brushes for cleaning, one of which I believe is used for the nozzle. Are these necessary? How would you clean out the nozzle without them? I want to try cleaning them first before I shell out the money for some new nozzles. Yes, I've tried diesel purge but I want to completely disassemble them and clean them thoroughly.
Thanks, Scott

How can I say this.?....Don't.
Others will disagree of course and I don't mind that. They are made in extreem clean room conditions, that you cannot duplicate in your shop/garage/kitchen. If you take them apart you will need to re check the pop off pressures. They do work together and get better at atomizing the fuel after a few hundred miles..applies to new ones especially. If you insist on dismantling them, you'll need surgical gloves of some sort and a lint free place to work at. The residue in the pintle tip will be impossible to totally remove and you may score the micro fine surfaces trying to. The parts are laped together and the taper has proved critical to engine noise. It would be better to buy a set of nozzles and instal them without pullng the needle out of the nozzle when you assemble them. Just my view you understand. .

Local Bosch shop will check them for free, if they need something I have heard they are inexpensive. What would you have to lose?

If I put them together exactly how I took them apart, why would anything change?

Do you own another car? I can't tell from your sig.
Just pull the ones in question and ship them off to be rebuilt if you're that worried about them.

Short of building my own pop tester which I'm not ready to do now I have no way of knowing. There is no Bosch shop in town.

I will install new ones myself if it comes to that but I'm trying to save the $120 it will cost for four new nozzles. If I can clean them myself for free first, I would like to try that and see if it works.

Sorry about that, I've got one an hour from me and they even said I could drop off at various places in my town as they pickup items several times a week.

Scott, a NAPA guy who is a former MBZ mechanic told me to take my injectors to Diesel Motive, its on Industrial her in Albuquerque. I haven't gotten around to taking them yet, so I can't comment on their service, but it might be worth a try.

I agree.....

Take the nozzles to the Bosch FI Shop......have them test them, and set them as necessary......Fuel Injection components are very precision instruments.....
