Part: Fuel injectors

In this video we see how to repair the injectors of a Toyota common rail car.

The WD 40 is essential to help us disassemble the various tiny pieces. With small tweezers, all the pieces are reassembled (it will be useful to take photos before disassembly, to make sure everything is put back in the right place). If you feel capable of doing this job, you can follow the video, because it is really excellent and explains everything step by step. What we can advise you is to use a pair of disposable gloves and a cleaner workspace.
