      NOTE:
      • Do not clean the tip of the direct fuel injector assembly.
      • Do not use a wire brush to clean the direct fuel injector assembly.
      • If a direct fuel injector assembly is dropped or the tip of the direct fuel injector assembly is struck, replace it with a new one.
    2. Apply engine oil to the direct fuel injector assembly contact surface of SST (guide), then attach SST (guide) to the direct fuel injector assembly with the chamfer facing the tip of the direct fuel injector assembly as shown in the illustration.

      NOTE:

      Be careful not to install the fuel injector seal to SST (holder) at an angle. Doing so will stretch the fuel injector seal.

    4. Install SST (holder) with the fuel injector seal to the tip of the direct fuel injector assembly. Slide the fuel injector seal downward into the direct fuel injector assembly groove with your fingers as shown in the illustration.

      HINT: 

      Check that the fuel injector seal is seated in the direct fuel injector assembly groove as shown in the illustration.

    5. Slowly slide SST (guide) toward the tip of the direct fuel injector assembly. When the direct fuel injector assembly contact surface of SST (guide) aligns with the fuel injector seal as shown in the illustration, hold the position for 10 seconds or more to fully seat the fuel injector seal into the direct fuel injector assembly groove.

      NOTE:

      Make sure the fuel injector seal is not pinched between SST (guide) and the edge of the direct fuel injector assembly groove. Replace the fuel injector seal if it becomes damaged.

      HINT: 

      • Set SST (guide) so that its bottom surface is flush with the fuel injector seal.
      • If it is difficult to slide SST (guide) upward, slowly wiggle it from side to side while sliding it up the direct fuel injector assembly little by little.
    6. After installing the fuel injector seals, check that they are not scratched, deformed or protruding from the direct fuel injector assembly groove.
