2.Rotate the dial of the tool as shown, and then pull out the tool while holding the fuel injector nozzle gasket.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

1.Clean the fuel injector assembly (nozzle) and the cylinder head (fuel injector insertion hole) by following the procedure below.
(1)
caution Do not clean the injection part of the nozzle with a resin spatula.
Using a resin spatula, scrape off the carbon deposit on the fuel injector nozzle side face ("A" shown in the figure).
(2) Spray the carburettor cleaner (MZ100139) or equivalent to the nozzle side face ("A" shown in the figure).
(3)
caution Do not touch the injection part of the nozzle with hand or wipe it with a rag.
Leave the injection part for a while until the carbon deposit melts down, and then blow air to the injection part.
(4) Insert the special tool ornament remover (MB990784) to the cylinder head (fuel injector insertion hole) with turning the special tool as shown, and scrape off the carbon deposit.
(5)
caution In order to prevent carbon from adhering to the inner surface of the cylinder, blow air with the piston in the TDC position.
Remove the special tool MB990784, and blow off the carbon deposit on the cylinder head (fuel injector insertion hole) by air.
(6) Check that there is no carbon deposit remaining on the contact surface of the fuel injector nozzle gasket.
note Repeat step 4 to step 6 several times until the carbon deposit is completely removed.
2.Replace the fuel injector nozzle gasket with a new one.
3.
caution
  • If the removed fuel injector assembly to be reinstalled cannot be identified, register the injector identification code and perform the small injection quantity learning. (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions before Service, What the Common Rail Engine Learns ).
  • Securely insert the fuel injector assembly.
Install the fuel injector assembly.
4.Apply an adequate and minimum amount of engine oil to the thread of the fuel injector holder mounting bolts, the lower area of the flange, and fuel injector washer.

5.Install the fuel injector holder through the injector connector part, and let both right and left sides of the fuel injector holder mounting bolts be seated at the same time. Make sure that the fuel injector holder is placed within 2 mm in the horizontal axis by using a L-shaped steel scale.
6.Mount the fuel injection pipe No. 1 to No. 4 and temporarily install them.
7.Tighten the bolt on the engine front side of the fuel injector holder mounting bolts to 1.1 ± 0.1 N·m.

8.Use the special tool angle gauge (MB991614) to tighten the engine rear side bolts of the fuel injector holder to 180° ± 1°.
9.Use the special tool (MB991614) to tighten the engine front side bolts of the fuel injector holder to 90° ± 1°.
10.
caution
  • The removed fuel injection pipe can be reassembled up to five times. To count the number of fuel injection pipe reassembly, record it by adding the reassembly number of this time (once usually) to the previous number of reassembly written on the maintenance handbook. When the number of the previous reassembly reaches 5 or when the fuel injector assembly or common rail assembly is replaced, always use a new fuel injection pipe. At that time, write "New (0 times)" in the maintenance handbook.
  • If a fuel leak is present in the fuel injection pipe and fuel injection pipe set once, do not reuse it and replace with a new one.
  • If the fuel injector assembly, common rail assembly or supply pump assembly is replaced, the contact surface (seal surface) between the fuel injection pipe and fuel injection pipe set, and the other side component is changed, do not reuse the fuel injection pipe and fuel supply pump pipe and replace with a new one.
  • When reassembling the fuel injection pipe, remove the foreign material attached on the sealing surface, and install it with the contacting point of the pipe aligned.
Loosen the flare nut of the common rail assembly, fuel injection pipe set A, fuel injection pipe set B, and fuel return pipe. (Refer to .)
11.Align the fuel injection pipe centre axis with the other side components (common rail assembly and fuel injector assembly) centre axis to install the fuel injection pipe. Then, tighten the flare nut temporarily until the tip of pipe (seal surface) contacts with the other side components.
note When the fuel injection pipe is installed, tighten the flare nut while shaking the pipe lightly to align the centre axis of both components.

12.Using the special tool crowfoot wrench (MB992211), tighten the common rail assembly side of the fuel injection pipe No.1 to No.4 to the temporary tightening torque calculated by the following formula.
Tightening torque: (18 ± 2) × {L ÷ (L + 25)} N·m

    18 ± 2: Tightening torque of the fuel injection pipe (unit: N·m)
    L: Distance between the centre of a torque wrench drive and of its handle (unit: mm)
    25: Length of pitch for special tool between holes (unit: mm)

13.Using the special tool fuel injection pipe wrench (MB992188), tighten the fuel injector assembly side of fuel injection pipe No. 3 and No. 4 to the temporary tightening torque.
Tightening torque: 18 ± 2 N·m
14.Using the special tool MB992211, tighten the common rail assembly side of the fuel injection pipe No.1 to No.4 to the specified torque calculated by the following formula.
Tightening torque: (35 ± 5) × {L ÷ (L + 25)} N·m

    35 ± 5: Tightening torque of the fuel injection pipe (unit: N·m)
    L: Distance between the centre of a torque wrench drive and of its handle (unit: mm)
    25: Length of pitch for special tool between holes (unit: mm)
15.Using the special tool MB992188, tighten the fuel injector assembly side of the fuel injection pipe No. 3 and No. 4 to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 35 ± 5 N·m
16.Tighten the common rail assembly, fuel injection pipe set A, fuel injection pipe set B, and fuel return pipe. (Refer to .)
17.Check that no fuel is leaked from the fuel injection pipe connection area and the gasket.
