How to Repair Common Rail Injectors

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuel injectors

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to repair the injectors of a Toyota common rail vehicle. While others would replace the entire injector, the YouTuber meticulously dismantles it piece by piece and soaks them in a liquid that could be WD-40 or vinegar - leaving it overnight.

WD-40 is essential to help you disassemble the various tiny parts. Use small tweezers to reassemble all the pieces (it will be helpful to take photos before disassembly to ensure everything goes back in the right place).

If you feel capable of doing this work, you can follow the video, as it is truly excellent and explains everything step by step. We recommend using a pair of disposable gloves and working in a cleaner environment.
