The injector combustion seal should be replaced new one to prevent leakage after removing the injector.

  1. Remove the combustion seal (A) with a wire cutter.

    CAUTION: Grip the sealing ring carefully, pull it to form a small loop and then cut it.
    Be careful not to damage the surface of the valve sleeve with the wire cutter.
  2. Before the assembly of the sealing ring the groove must be cleaned using a clean cloth.

    Any coking of the injector sealing surface must be carefully removed with a brass -wire brush.

  5. Place the cone (with seal) on the end of the injector.

    Place the sizing tool (SST No.: 09353-2B00) over the cone. Make sure the tool flange is toward the seal as shown in the illustration.

    Press down on the tool to work the seal over the injector and into the groove.

  6. Because the seal will stretch as it goes over the end of the injector, it will be a bit oversized after installation.

    By letting the injector and seal set for a few minutes, the seal may reduce in size.

    Inspect the seal for damage before continuing.

  7. Place the resizing tool (flange up) over the seal. Twist the tool slightly while pushing down over the seal. This should reduce the size of the seal.
