18. CAUTIONS:
Make sure that the special tool is located correctly to the fuel injector
prior to removing the fuel injector.
Make sure that the special tool is held square to the fuel injector
during removal.
Make sure that all open ports are covered to prevent any foreign
material ingress.
Special Tool(s): 310-197
CAUTION: If the fuel injector is being removed without a new
component being installed, the fuel injector clamp must remain with the
fuel injector it is removed with.
CAUTIONS:
Do not use a knife to remove the Teflon seal as damage could occur to
the fuel injector.
Do not cut the Teflon seal to deep as damage could occur to the fuel
injector.
Pinch the Teflon seal to allow the tool to cut the Teflon seal without
damaging the fuel injector.

4. CAUTION: If the original fuel injector is being installed, the original
fuel injector clamp must installed with the fuel injector it was removed
with.
5. CAUTION: If a new cylinder head has been installed then the special
tool 310-200-02 without the thread must be used to install the fuel rail.

6. CAUTIONS:
Make sure that the area around the open fuel injector ports are clean
and free of foreign material and lubricant prior to installing the fuel injector.
When Installing the fuel injector(s), make sure that the Teflon seal is
clean and free of foreign material and lubricant.
7. CAUTIONS:
If new fuel injectors are installed, a new injector clamp must be
installed
Make sure that the fuel injector is aligned and installed into the fuel
rail correctly, as noted in the removal step.
Tighten the fuel rail retaining bolts a turn at a time until the correct
torque is achieved.
NOTE: Lubricate the fuel injector O-ring seals with clean engine oil.
Torque: 20 Nm
