Fuel Injector Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CAUTION:

Use of a deformed fuel injector retaining clip will cause the fuel injector to not engage correctly. Always use a new clip when reattaching the fuel injector, otherwise it may cause the fuel injector to rotate.

Insert a screwdriver between the fuel injector cup and the clip fingers.
