CAUTION:
·Do not clean the tip portion.
·Do not use a wire brush etc.
·If the tip of fuel injector ASSY is bumped or dropped, replace the fuel injector ASSY with a new one.
·Do not use a wire brush etc.
·If the tip of fuel injector ASSY is bumped or dropped, replace the fuel injector ASSY with a new one.
(2) Apply engine oil to the inner periphery of SST (guide) and set it on the injector so that the taper surface faces toward the tip side of injector.

CAUTION:
When setting the fuel injector seal on the SST (holder), the seal is stretched and it is difficult to correct if the seal is set at an angle.
(4) Set the SST (holder) with the fuel injector seal to the tip of injector and push down the fuel injector seal with fingers to install it in the injector groove shown in the figure.

CAUTION:
Make sure the fuel injector seal is completely fitted in the groove for its entire circumference.
(5) While holding the fuel injector seal (connector side) lightly with the SST (holder), pull up the SST (guide) toward the injector tip side slowly and seat the fuel injector seal in the injector groove.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to pinch the fuel injector seal between the SST (guide) and injector groove. If it is pinched, replace it with a new one.
(6) Pull up the SST (guide) toward the injector tip side slowly and hold the SST for 5 sec. or more when the fuel injector seal on the connector side reaches to the straight portion of SST (guide) in order to correct the fuel injector seal.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to pinch the fuel injector seal between the SST (guide) and injector groove. If it is pinched, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
·A rough indication of the straight portion is the position where the bottom of fuel injector seal aligns with the bottom of SST (guide).
·When the SST (guide) cannot be pulled up because it is stuck, pull up it gradually by rotating the SST (guide) to the left and right slowly.
·When the SST (guide) cannot be pulled up because it is stuck, pull up it gradually by rotating the SST (guide) to the left and right slowly.
(7) After the fuel injector seal is installed, make sure that there is no scratches on the seal, crushing of the seal, or protrusion of the seal from the seal groove.
