  2. NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon® fuel injector seals.

    1. Install the Arbor on the fuel injector tips. Use Special Service Tool: 310-207 Installer, Fuel Injector Seal Assembly.
    2. NOTE: Once the Teflon® seal is installed on the Teflon® Seal Guide, it should immediately be installed onto the fuel injector to avoid excessive expansion of the Teflon® seal.
      NOTE: Make sure that new lower fuel injector Teflon® seals are installed.

      Install the new Teflon® seals onto the Arbor, using the Pusher Tool (part of the Fuel Injector Seal Installer), slide the Teflon® seals along the Arbor.

    3. Using the Pusher Tool, slide the Teflon® seals off of the Teflon® Seal Guide and into the groove on the fuel injectors. Use Special Service Tool: 310-207 Installer, Fuel Injector Seal Assembly.

    1. Some Teflon® seal massaging with your fingers before the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed will aid in installing the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
    2. Position the Teflon® seal sizer tool with the larger opening towards the Teflon® seal. Push while turning the Teflon® seal sizer tool 180 degrees. Use Special Service Tool: 303-1567 Sizer, Teflon Seal.
    3. Once the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed, check and make sure the Teflon® seal is in the sizing portion of the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
