2. Remove HP fuel line 4). Note: While the adapter is removed, the injector is drained. 3. Remove adapter (3). 4. Remove screw (2) and take off hold-down clamp (1).
5. Install installation/removal jig on cylinder head. 6. Remove injector with installation/removal jig. 7. Remove installation/removal jig.
8. Remove sealing ring (4) from injector or use a self-made hook to take it out of the cylinder head. 9. Remove O-rings (3), O-ring (2) and damper ring (1) from injector. 10. Clean all mating and sealing surfaces. 11. Cover all connections and bores, or seal with suitable plugs.



Installing injector
1. Remove plug before installing the injector. (Do not remove the plug from the HP line before installing the adapter). 2. Coat injector with assembly paste at the seat of the nozzle retaining nut. 3. Fit new sealing ring (included in the scope of delivery of the injector) with assembly compound on injector, observe installation position of sealing ring.
4. Fit new O-rings (3) (included in the scope of delivery of the injector), O-ring (2) and damping ring (1) onto the injector and coat with assembly compound (Kluthe Hakuform 30-11C/Emulgier). 5. Remove oil carbon from sealing face on cylinder head and protective sleeve with milling cutter. 6. Insert injector into cylinder head, ensuring that the HP line adapter is correctly aligned.
7. Press in injector with installation/removal jig. 8. Remove installation/removal jig.



9. Coat screw head mating face (2) and thread with engine oil.
