	Remove/install
1	Disconnect battery ground line		AR54.10-P-0003LF
2	Remove rail		AR07.03-P-1010LFB
3	Mark fuel injectors (Y76) relative to the respective cylinder	If fuel injectors (Y76) are replaced, the transport protective caps on the fuel injectors (Y76) should not be removed until one hour before assembly at the earliest. Leaks can occur otherwise. When reusing the fuel injectors (Y76) they must be inserted into the cylinder in which in which its was previously installed.
4	Remove fuel injectors (Y76) from the cylinder head	Oil which comes out during disassembly of the rail () or from the fuel injectors (Y76) is safe. The rail or the fuel injectors (Y76) can be reused. The fuel injectors (Y76) must be installed together with the rail. In case of jammed fuel injectors (Y76): ↓ Remove injection nozzle (Y76).

5	Check fuel injectors (Y76) for external damage	For damage to the stems or to the mounts for the sealing package on the fuel injectors (Y76) the fuel injectors (Y76) must be replaced.
6	Replace sealing rings (2) and seals (4) on the fuel injectors (Y76)
7	Replace sealing rings (3) for fuel injectors (Y76)	The fuel injectors (Y76) must be installed immediately after calibration of the sealing rings (3) since the sealing rings (3) can swell due to the influence of air humidity. The sealing rings (3) will otherwise be damaged during assembly.	AR07.03-P-0004-01MM
