Warning

In case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pipe, delivery pipe, and injector, there may be injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don't do any repair work right after engine stops.

1. Release the residual pressure in fuel line.

   (Refer to the Fuel Delivery System -"Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line").

2. Switch "OFF" the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary 12V battery.
3. Remove the intake manifold.

   (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Intake Manifold")

4. Remove the injector form (A).

5. Remove the high pressure pipe flange nuts (A) by using the special service tool (SST No. 09314 - 3Q100 or 09314 - 27130).
