First, remove the small metal plate that secures the injector clip. Be careful of any diesel fuel that may splash out (while working, always wipe up any liquid spills with a cloth).

Next, disconnect the wire that secures the injector, located at the top. It is secured on all four sides of the injector base. To make this task easier, use a small flathead screwdriver.

Do not lose the metal plates you removed; you will need them. Then, remove the injector, where you can notice its defect, which is the missing plastic piece that covers the metal bolt.
