Yes BUT :
Not all 27MM deep sockets will fit the fuel injectors ! I wound up buying two before I got the correct one .
Remember when you're turning the engine by hand , to always remove the socket and wrench because if you forget it , damage will occur when the engine is started .
If you can find an old injector (most have spares) clean it up and take it to the tool store & test fit it before buying .
I *think* I bought a Craftsman 6 point 1/2" drive one for this job .
I buy my Craftsman tools @ OSH Hwe. because they're cheaper there than at SEARS , same tools tough .
Lifetime guaranty too ! , no receipt needed .
