Ve beauty cover removal heater hose relocation
Ve beauty cover removal and heater hose relocation, got the beauty cover off today, to fit the L76 VZ 6.0L split covers.
Not a hard job to do.
Start with cold car left over night is best.
First release pressure from fuel rails, unplug the electrics (clips that attach to fuel rail and the to coil packs), then remove fuel rail bolts plus another 5 that hold a couple of brackets.
Slowly pull up rails evenly until injectors pop out (should be able to lift up rails a few inches).
Now pull the metal clips off that hold the top of the injectors to the rails, remove the injectors (fuel rail can now be lifted right back).
Now you can pull the beauty cover off. :yahoo:
It is a good time now to clean injectors and remove any dirt where the injectors sit in.
Finally apply a good amount of rubber grease to the o-rings on injectors and place back in the manifold, line up rails then seat them in, replace metal clips.
Replace all bolts and clip in electrics.
Turn over engine and check for and leaks, put covers on.
Job done. :yeah:
