      NOTE: If the fuel feed hose, fuel hose or fuel feed tube is stuck, hold the fuel pipe by hand and disconnect it by pushing and pulling.
      CAUTION:
      • Keep parts away from heat source. Especially, be careful when welding is performed around them.
      • Do not expose parts to battery electrolyte or other acids.
      • Do not bend or twist connection between quick connector and fuel feed hose or fuel hose during installation/removal.
      • Pull quick connector while holding at location (D).
      • Do not remove the retainer.
      • Prepare a tray and waste beforehand as fuel leaks out.
      • Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be dama deg.
      • To prevent damage to each joint and protect it from the entry of foreign matter, cover the joint with plastic bag (A) or an equivalent.

    CAUTION:
    • For preventing damage to the high pressure fuel pump and camshaft bracket, loosen the bolts (A) by alternating sides one turn at a time until the tension applied to the bolts (A) by the high pressure fuel pump disappears.
    • Do not reuse O-ring.
  10. Remove high pressure fuel pump lifter.
  11. Remove electric intake valve timing control actuator target from camshaft sprocket (INT).
    CAUTION: Do not reuse electric intake valve timing control actuator target.
