  3. REMOVE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:
    • If fuel intrudes into the combustion chamber, there may be adverse affects to the engine main body.
    • When replacing the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly, it is necessary to replace the No. 1 fuel pipe sub-assembly with a new one.
    • Make sure not to touch or strike the tips of the direct fuel injector assemblies.
    • Make sure to support the resin part of each direct fuel injector assembly during removal to prevent a direct fuel injector assembly from falling.
    • Pull and remove the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly in a straight line without tilting it.

      1. Remove the 5 bolts from the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly.
      2. Install SST to the location shown in the illustration.
        • SST: 09260-48020 
      3. Remove the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly from the cylinder head sub-assembly vertically.
  4. REMOVE DIRECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:
    • To prevent bending the nozzle of the direct fuel injector assembly, do not hold it by the nozzle part.
    • Pull and remove each direct fuel injector assembly in a straight line to avoid damaging the seal surface of the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly O-ring.
    • After removing the direct 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 sub-assembly side.
    • Attach a tag or label with the corresponding cylinder number to each direct fuel injector assembly so that they can be installed to their original locations.

      1. Install SST (A) to the installation hole of the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly near the direct fuel injector assembly.
        • SST: 09260-48010 
      2. Install SST (B) to the direct fuel injector assembly and adjust so that the bridge part of SST (B) is at a right angle to SST (A) as shown in the illustration.

        HINT: 

        If the nozzle holder clamp is still attached to the direct fuel injector assembly, remove it before installing SST.

      3. Attach and secure SST (C).
      4. Set a torque wrench to SST and remove the direct fuel injector assembly while checking the value of the torque wrench.
        NOTE:

        If the torque exceeds 1.8 N.m (18 kgf/cm, 16 in.lbf) when removing the direct fuel injector assembly, replace it with a new one.
