- REMOVE FUEL (ENGINE ROOM SIDE) PUMP ASSEMBLY (for High Pressure)
Refer to REMOVAL [10/2017 - ]
- REMOVE NO. 2 FUEL PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- REMOVE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE WITH SENSOR ASSEMBLY LH NOTE:
- Do not remove the fuel pressure sensor from the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH.
- If the fuel pressure sensor is removed, replace the fuel pressure sensor (fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH) with a new one.
- Disconnect the fuel pressure sensor connector.
- Remove the bolt.
Front - Disengage the clamp to disconnect the No. 7 engine wire from the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH.
- Remove the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Bolt Nut Front - Using an E8 "TORX" socket wrench, remove the 2 stud bolts from the cylinder head LH.
Front - With the connectors still connected, remove the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH.
Front NOTE:- If fuel intrudes into the combustion chamber, there may be adverse effects to the engine main body.
- Make sure that the fuel delivery pipe is disconnected from the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH.
- Be extremely careful not to touch or strike the tips of the fuel injector assemblies.
- Pull and remove the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH in a straight line without tilting it.
- Disconnect the 3 fuel injector assembly connectors and remove the No. 7 engine wire.
- REMOVE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE RH
- Remove the bolt.
Front - Disengage the clamp to disconnect the No. 6 engine wire from the fuel delivery pipe RH.
- Remove the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Bolt Nut Front - With the connectors still connected, remove the fuel delivery pipe RH.
Front NOTE:- If fuel intrudes into the combustion chamber, there may be adverse effects to the engine main body.
- Be extremely careful not to touch or strike the tips of the fuel injector assemblies.
- Pull and remove the fuel delivery pipe RH in a straight line without tilting it.
- Disconnect the 3 fuel injector assembly connectors and remove the No. 6 engine wire.
- Remove the bolt.
- REMOVE FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY
- Secure the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH and fuel delivery pipe RH in a vise between aluminum plates and pull out the 6 fuel injector assemblies.NOTE:
- Pull and remove each fuel injector assembly in a straight line to avoid damaging the seal surface of the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH and fuel delivery pipe RH O-ring.
- After removing the fuel injector assemblies, remove any O-rings, No. 1 fuel injector back-up rings and No. 3 fuel injector back-up rings remaining on the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH and fuel delivery pipe RH side.
- Attach a tag or label with the corresponding cylinder number to each fuel injector assembly so that they can be installed to their original locations.
- Remove the nozzle holder clamp from each fuel injector assembly.
- Using needle nose pliers, remove the No. 3 fuel injector back-up ring from each fuel injector assembly.NOTE:
Do not damage the area that contacts the O-ring.
- Remove the O-ring and No. 1 fuel injector back-up ring from each fuel injector assembly.
- Remove the C-ring and injector vibration insulator from each fuel injector assembly.
- Secure the fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly LH and fuel delivery pipe RH in a vise between aluminum plates and pull out the 6 fuel injector assemblies.
- REMOVE FUEL INJECTOR SEAL
- Using the tip of needle nose pliers, pinch and pull the fuel injector seal at several points to stretch it.NOTE:
- Excessively pinching the fuel injector seal may damage the groove of the fuel injector assembly.
- If a fuel injector assembly is dropped or the tip of the fuel injector assembly is struck, replace it with a new one.
- Remove the fuel injector seal from each fuel injector assembly.
- Using the tip of needle nose pliers, pinch and pull the fuel injector seal at several points to stretch it.
