Remove valve covers
unhook injector wiring Remove bottom hold down bolt Slide collar up over the top hold down bolt and pry up on injector Repeat last step for 8 times Coat new injectors in oil and slide into the hole, collar over top hold down bolt Use soft mallet to tap injectors(careful of the solenoid) until firmly seated. put bottom bolt back in place and torque to 120inlbs repeat last 3 steps 8 times remove glow plugs put valve covers back in place for with a bolt on top and bottom bump the starter a few times to make sure everything will spin freely remove valve covers and replace glow plugs. hook all the wiring back up to glow plugs and injectors reinstall valve covers jump in the cab and start cranking about 15seconds for 3-5 cycles. should fire up and might be smoking like a train. take it out for a drive, it might miss and skip but it's air in the system. Will take upwards of 100 miles to get driving right. Also, your start ups for a day or two might take a few extra seconds of cranking. It's normal. :c: |

No problem. It's a fairly simple process... I've swapped the injectors in my truck a few times... Just take your time is all really, no rush...
