FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
9. Remove fuel tube bolts.
• Loosen bolts in reverse order as shown.
10. Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. CAUTION:
• When removing, be careful to avoid any interference with fuel injector.
• Use a shop cloth to absorb any fuel leaks from fuel tube.
11. Remove fuel injector from the f uel tube with the following procedure:
a. Open and remove the clip.
b. Remove fuel injector from the fuel tube by pulling straight. CAUTION:
• Be careful about spilling fu el remaining in fuel tube.
• Be careful not to damage the fuel injector nozzle during removal.
• Never bump or drop fuel injector.
• Never disassemble fuel injector.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new O-rings to the fuel injector.
CAUTION:
• The upper and lower O-rings are different. Be careful not to confuse them.
• Handle O-ring with bare hands. Never wear gloves.
• Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
• Never clean O-ring with solvent.
• Make sure that the O-ring and its mati ng part are free of foreign material.
• Be careful not to scratch O-ring with tool or fingernails when installing.
• Do not twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while installing, never insert it into fuel
tube immediately.
• Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Never angle or twist it.

21. Press stopper tab (A) in the direction shown to push the timing
chain slack guide (B) toward ti ming chain tensioner (for oil
pump) (1).
• The slack guide (B) is released by pressing the stopper tab
(A). As a result, the slack guide (B) can be moved.
22. Insert stopper pin (D) into tensioner body hole (C) to secure tim- ing chain slack guide (B).
NOTE:
Use a hard metal pin with a diameter of approximately 1.2 mm
(0.047 in) as a stopper pin.
23. Remove timing chain tensioner (for oil pump), if necessary.
24. Hold the WAF part of oil pump shaft (A), and then loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt and remove them. CAUTION:
• Secure the oil pump shaft with the WAF part (A).
• Never loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt by tightening theoil pump drive chain.
CAUTION:
Never use an impact or other power tool to remove the
engine oil pump sprocket bolt. If an impact or other power
tool is used to remove the e ngine oil pump sprocket bolt,
the crankshaft sprocket may break.
25. Remove crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket and oil pump drive chain as a set, if necessary.
26. Remove timing chain tension guide (front cover side) from front cover, if necessary.
