FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
2004 QX56

Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.

Do not clean O-ring with solvent.

Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.

When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.

Insert new O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not twist it.
6. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing the fuel tubes, make sure there are no fuel leaks at the connections using the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to the fuel lines by turning the ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check
for fuel leaks at the connections.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on hidden points.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the engine immediately after stopping, as engine becomes extremely hot.
