Hino N04C Engine Workshop Manual download

Safety first (read and follow before you start)
- Wear safety glasses, nitrile gloves, and work boots; diesel is an irritant and slippery.
- Work outside or in a well‑ventilated area; avoid open flames or sparks — diesel can ignite.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal before doing any fuel-system work to avoid sparks.
- Have a fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids nearby.
- Catch spilled fuel in a proper container and dispose of contaminated rags and fuel per local regulations.

Tools and what each one is, why it’s needed, and how to use it
- Metric socket set (3/8" and 1/2" drive, 8–22 mm common sizes)
- Description: ratchet + sockets of metric sizes.
- Why: used to remove pump mounting bolts, brackets, and hose clamps with hex heads.
- How to use: select correct socket size, attach to ratchet, turn counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Use extensions for recessed bolts.
- Torque wrench (click-type, 10–150 Nm or 8–110 ft‑lb range)
- Description: adjustable wrench that clicks at preset torque.
- Why: critical for tightening pump mounting bolts, fuel line fittings and flange bolts to manufacturer torque specs to avoid leaks or damage.
- How to use: set the required torque, tighten until it clicks once, do not exceed.
- Combination wrench set (open and box end, metric)
- Description: fixed-size wrenches.
- Why: access tight places where sockets won’t fit and for holding fittings while loosening nuts.
- How to use: choose correct size, pull rather than push when possible for safety.
- Flare‑nut / line wrenches (metric)
- Description: wrenches that grip more sides of a fuel‑line nut.
- Why: prevents rounding off fuel line fittings on steel or brass flared connections.
- How to use: place the wrench fully over fitting and break it loose; hold opposing fitting with another wrench to avoid twisting lines.
- Screwdriver set (flat and Phillips)
- Description: hand screwdrivers of various sizes.
- Why: for hose clamps, covers, and small screws.
- How to use: match tip size to screw head; press and turn steadily.
- Pliers (slip‑joint, needle‑nose) and hose clamp pliers
- Description: general gripping and clamp removal tools.
- Why: remove retaining clips, pinch clamps and pull hoses.
- How to use: grip firmly and pull; needle‑nose for small clips.
- Drain pan / fuel-safe container
- Description: shallow tray and sealable jugs rated for fuel.
- Why: to catch fuel when you open lines or remove pump.
- How to use: place under removal area, transfer fuel into sealed container.
- Rags and absorbent pads
- Description: shop rags and absorbents.
- Why: clean spills and wipe connections.
- How to use: keep handy to mop spills immediately.
- Penetrating oil (e.g., PB Blaster)
- Description: chemical loosener for rusted bolts.
- Why: helps break seized bolts on older trucks.
- How to use: spray, wait 10–15 minutes, then try loosening.
- Replacement gaskets, O‑rings and new fuel-line crush washers
- Description: soft seals and copper washers used between fittings.
- Why: always replace seals to prevent leaks after reassembly.
- How to use: remove old seals, clean surfaces, seat new seals correctly.
- Fuel filter(s) (new)
- Description: new primary/secondary filters for diesel.
- Why: when replacing pump, replace filters to avoid introducing contaminants.
- How to use: change per filter manufacturer instructions.
- Rubber fuel hose (spare) and hose clamps
- Description: diesel‑rated hose.
- Why: old hoses may be swollen or cracked — replace if worn.
- How to use: cut to length and secure with clamps.
- Small hand pump or syringe for priming (manual priming bulb if fitted)
- Description: pump to move fuel by hand.
- Why: used to prime fuel system and remove air before starting.
- How to use: connect to bleed/prime nipple and pump until fuel flows free of air.
- Multimeter (if pump is electric)
- Description: measures voltage, continuity.
- Why: to check power to the pump and test switches/relays.
- How to use: set to DC volts to check battery/power; continuity for fuses or wires.
- Jack and axle stands + wheel chocks (if you need to lift vehicle)
- Description: hydraulic jack and stands to support vehicle safely.
- Why: needed if pump is under vehicle or access requires lifting.
- How to use: chock wheels, lift at manufacturer jack points, place stands under solid frame.
- Special tools (may be required for high‑pressure injection pump removal)
- Injection pump timing tool or crankshaft locking tool
- Why: keeps engine at TDC and pump at correct timing position. Required for high-pressure/injection pump removal/installation.
- Pump removal/puller tool or holding fixture
- Why: some pumps are pressed or have tight splines; tool prevents damage.
- Dial gauge (for precise timing)
- Why: to set injection timing accurately.
- How to use: these are specialized; follow the workshop manual instructions precisely. If you lack these, professional service is strongly recommended.

Which fuel pump could be on your Hino N04C and why that matters
- Low‑pressure feed/lift pump (electric or mechanical)
- Role: moves diesel from tank to primary filter/injection pump; low-pressure side.
- Replacement complexity: moderate; typically bolt-on and can be DIY if you can access lines and prime system.
- High‑pressure injection pump (gear‑driven or timed)
- Role: pressurizes fuel for injectors and sets injection timing.
- Replacement complexity: high; requires timing tools and careful calibration. Mistimed installation can cause severe engine damage or no-start. Consider professional replacement unless you have the required tools and factory manual.

Parts commonly required when replacing the pump (and why)
- New fuel pump assembly
- Why: the failed item — purchase OEM or exact aftermarket equivalent for fit and calibration.
- Gasket kits and O‑rings for the pump flange and lines
- Why: old seals will leak; always replace during service.
- Copper crush washers for banjo bolts or fuel line fittings
- Why: single‑use seals that compress; reuse causes leaks.
- Fuel filters (primary and secondary)
- Why: contaminated filters can cause pump failure; replace to protect new pump.
- Fuel hoses and clamps (if cracked or hardened)
- Why: prevent future leaks.
- Pump mounting bolts (if damaged or corroded) and recommended thread locker
- Why: replace stripped or corroded bolts; use thread locker where specified.
- Injection pump calibration or timing kit (if replacing high‑pressure pump)
- Why: new pump may need to be calibrated or timed to engine; some pumps are bench‑calibrated and must be fitted with correct timing.

Step‑by‑step procedure for replacing a low‑pressure lift pump (generalized, for a beginner)
- Prepare workspace and safety gear, disconnect negative battery terminal.
- Relieve fuel pressure and prepare to catch fuel
- Open drain on primary filter (if present) or loosen a downstream fuel line fitting slowly with a drain pan under it to relieve pressure.
- If vehicle has a manual priming bulb, squeeze to release pressure.
- Identify pump location
- Usually mounted on engine block, frame rail or near fuel tank. Consult engine diagram or manual.
- Label and photograph hoses and electrical connectors
- Use tape and marker so you can reconnect exactly as removed.
- Remove electrical connector and fuel lines
- Use flare‑nut wrench on fittings to avoid rounding. Cap lines or plug ports immediately to limit contamination and spills.
- Catch fuel in the drain pan.
- Unbolt pump and remove
- Spray penetrating oil on bolts and allow soak time if rusty. Use socket/wrench to remove mounting bolts.
- Remove pump carefully; note any spacer or gasket orientation.
- Inspect mounting surface and clean
- Remove old gasket material with gasket scraper, wipe clean with rags.
- Install new pump with new gasket/O‑rings
- Fit new seals, align pump and hand‑start bolts. Tighten to manufacturer torque spec with torque wrench (if you don’t have manual torque specs, tighten snugly then check shop manual — avoid over‑tightening).
- Reconnect fuel lines with new crush washers/O‑rings
- Tighten flare‑nuts hand‑tight then with wrench; do not overtighten.
- Reconnect electrical connector
- Ensure clean, dry connections; use dielectric grease if you have it.
- Replace fuel filter(s) now while system is open
- Install new filters and prime per filter instructions.
- Prime the fuel system
- Use manual priming pump or turn ignition to ON for 10–15 second cycles to allow electric pump to move fuel; repeat until fuel runs clear at bleed points and no air is present.
- If manual priming screw exists on the filter housing, open it until fuel flows solid, then close.
- Start engine and check for leaks
- Run engine at idle; inspect all fittings with flashlight. Tighten any fitting with a slight drip.
- Road test and final check
- After a short drive, recheck mounts and fittings for looseness or leaks.

Bleeding tips for diesel systems (common approaches)
- Use manual primer (if fitted) until steady fuel flow without bubbles.
- Use the key cycle method (turn key ON but don’t start, hold for 10–15 s, OFF for 5 s, repeat) so electric pump can work and bleeds the circuit.
- Open bleed screw at filter/injection pump inlet while priming until only fuel (no bubbles) appears.
- Crank the engine if it won’t start, but avoid long continuous cranking — allow rest to prevent starter damage.

High‑pressure injection pump replacement (overview and cautions)
- This is advanced work requiring timing/locking tools, possible bench calibration, and precise torque and timing procedures.
- If your Hino has a distribution or common‑rail high‑pressure pump tied to cam/crank timing:
- Lock the crank at TDC, lock camshaft (if required), and use the injection pump timing pin/tool to hold pump position.
- Mark and photograph gear positions before removal.
- Remove drive gear/belt and pump, install new pump aligning timing marks exactly.
- Replace all seals and crush washers.
- Re-torque to exact specs from factory manual.
- Bleed system and perform cranking/priming per manual.
- If you do not have the correct timing tools and factory torque/timing specs, do not attempt this — a mistimed pump can cause catastrophic engine damage. Seek a qualified technician.

Common problems and what else to replace while you’re at it
- Replace fuel filters (primary and secondary) to protect the new pump.
- Replace rubber hoses and clamps if they are hardened or cracked.
- Replace electrical connectors or relays that show corrosion; check fuse and pump relay operation with multimeter.
- Replace any bent or damaged banjo bolts and all crushed copper washers.
- If air ingress was present, check tank venting and lift pump suction lines for cracks.

How to test after installation
- Visual leak check while engine is idling.
- Run engine to operating temperature and monitor for smoke, rough running, or leaks.
- Check fuel pressure at test port (if available) with a fuel pressure gauge to ensure pump is providing correct pressure.
- Road test under light load, re‑inspect for leaks and mounting integrity.

When to call a professional
- If the pump to be replaced is the high‑pressure injection pump and you don’t have timing/locking tools and the workshop manual.
- If after replacement the engine runs poorly, oil pressure drops, or unusual noises occur.
- If you cannot eliminate air in the fuel system or there are persistent leaks.

Quick parts checklist to buy before starting
- Correct replacement fuel pump (OEM or exact fit)
- Pump gasket/O‑ring kit
- Fuel filters (primary and secondary)
- Copper crush washers for all banjo/line fittings
- Diesel‑rated hoses and clamps (if needed)
- Thread locker and anti‑seize (if called for by manual)
- Personal protective equipment and fuel catch containers

Final notes
- Never reuse crush washers or damaged O‑rings.
- Always consult the Hino N04C factory workshop manual for exact torque values, timing procedures, and pump part numbers; follow those specs over any general guide.
- If any step is unclear or if the pump is the high‑pressure injection unit, have the job inspected or done by a Hino diesel technician.

No extra questions — follow these steps and consult the factory manual for torque and timing specifications.
