spring cage.
Lubricate threads on injector nut (1)
with engine oil and carefully thread
nut on pedestal (43). Tighten nut as
tight as possible by hand.
Using injector wrench (11), torque
injector nut (1) to 75-85 Ib-ft (102-115
N-m) for blued components, 45-55
Ib-ft (61-75 N-m) for steel gray
components, or 60-70 Ib-ft (81-95
N-m) for mixed components.
