Removal and Installation: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- The fuel system (fuel pump, high pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors) contain very high pressure fuel. To avoid the risk of personal injury or fire:
- Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running.
- Wait at least 10 minutes after shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
- Wear appropriate eye protection and protective equipment as high-pressure fuel spray can penetrate the skin.
- Never smoke or allow sparks or flames (such as pilot lights, electrical switches, or welding equipment) in the work area. Never allow diesel fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold which can cause a fire.
- Diesel fuel and diesel fuel vapor is flammable. To avoid risk of fire or burns, never smoke or allow sparks or flames (such as pilot lights, electrical switches, or welding equipment) in the work area. Never allow diesel fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold which can cause a fire.
- To avoid the risk of personal injury or fire, drain diesel fuel into an approved container and safely dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
CAUTION:
Clean all fittings before disassembly. Dirt or contaminants can damage the fuel system.
- Remove the fuel rail supply lines. Refer to Removal and Installation .
- Remove the vacuum pump. Refer to Removal and Installation .
- Use Tool (B) on the vibration damper. Bar the engine over until cylinder number 1 top dead center (TDC) has been located.NOTE: Locate cylinder number 1 TDC by barring the engine until the timing mark on the vibration damper (1) and front cover are aligned. After TDC is located, insert Tool (A).

- Disconnect the harness connector (C) from the high-pressure fuel pump (1).
- Disconnect the two-button fuel supply line fitting (B) that connects the fuel filter (Stage 2) to the high-pressure fuel pump.
- Disconnect the two-button fuel drain line fitting (A) that connects the high-pressure fuel pump to fuel filter (Stage 2).
- Install Tool (E) onto the front cover. Install the bolts (C) (included with the tool) into the lower holes and bolt (A) (from the cover) into the upper hole. Install the sprocket retainer bolts (D) into the pilot holes (B) of the fuel pump sprocket and tighten the bolts.CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to the fuel pump, fuel pump removal tool J-54411 or its equivalent must be used for pump removal.NOTE:
- The fuel pump removal tool should be installed without the forcing screw assembly installed on tool.
- The sprocket retainer rotates to aid in locating the fuel pump tool bolts into the fuel pump sprockets pilot holes.

- Use a suitable tool (A) on the Tool (B) to hold the sprocket in place and remove the nut (D) and lock washer (C).CAUTION:
- To avoid possible engine damage, use a suitable tool to hold the sprocket in place while turning the fuel pump shaft nut.
- Do not reuse the lock washer.

- Thread the forcing screw assembly (C) into Tool (B).CAUTION: To avoid possible engine damage, only turn the forcing screw enough to dislodge the shaft from the sprocket.
- Turn the forcing screw clockwise until the fuel pump shaft is dislodged from the sprocket.
- Remove the fuel pump (1).NOTE: Note the orientation of the fuel pump shaft key (A) to ease in installation.
- Remove and discard O-ring (1) on fuel pump (2).CAUTION: Do not reuse O-ring.
