    • 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.

      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.
