HOW TO: Remove & Disassemble HPFP Spill Valve

[silvapain]

Tools:
1. 10mm socket and ratchet
2. 32mm combination wrench
3. medium-size standard (flat-head) screwdriver


Procedure:
1. Using the 10mm socket and ratchet, remove the two 10mm bolts that hold the shroud on over the TMIC and remove the shroud (if required).

2. Unplug electrical connector to the spill valve on the top of the HPFP.



3. Using the 32mm combination wrench, unscrew the spill valve from the HPFP housing.



4. Using the flat-head screwdriver, carefully pry up between the spill valve base and collar as seen below. Do this in steps, rotating the spill valve as you pry to pull the collar out evenly.





5. Carefully remove the collar, plunger, c-clip, and spring from the spill valve and clean.





Reinstallation:

For reinstallation, simply reassemble the collar, plunger, c-clip, and spring in the order it was pulled out of the spill valve, and press the collar back into the spill valve base. There is no need to press the collar all the way back in; when you screw the spill valve back into the HPFP, you will reseat the collar. Apply a bit of clean engine oil on the spill valve O-ring prior to putting the spill valve back into the HPFP. There is no need for any thread sealant, as the O-ring provides the seal.

NOTE: The electrical connector for the spill valve should be pointing straight towards the radiator when the spill valve is tightened all the way down. This can take a bit of force.
