Fuel Injection Pump - High Pressure: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: During the repair or installation of fuel-related components, cap, tape or otherwise appropriately protect all fuel openings to prevent the ingress of dirt or other contamination. Remove caps, tape and other protective materials prior to installation.
  1. WARNING: Do not work on the fuel system until the pressure has been released and the engine has cooled. Fuel in the high-pressure fuel system is hot and under very high pressure. High-pressure fuel may cause cuts and contact with hot fuel may cause burns. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

    Release the fuel system pressure. For additional information, refer to FUEL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION - GASOLINE AND DIESEL .

  2. Remove the fuel rail supply tube. For additional information, refer to FUEL RAIL SUPPLY TUBE .
  3. Remove the vacuum pump. For additional information, refer to POWER BRAKE ACTUATION .
  4. Using the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture and the Clutch Housing Gauge, check the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear backlash. For additional information, refer to SPECIFICATIONS .

  5. NOTE: The crankshaft gear contains a single timing mark. The camshaft drive gear contains a single timing mark and a double timing mark. The high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear contains a double timing mark.
    The engine is timed correctly when the single mark on the crankshaft drive gear is aligned with the double mark on the camshaft drive gear, and the single mark on the camshaft drive gear is aligned with the double mark on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear. Additionally, the keyway on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear must be in the 12 o'clock position.
    NOTE: Engine front cover removed for clarity.

    Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, as viewed from the front, until the single mark on the camshaft drive gear and the double mark on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear are aligned.
