Question How do I remove the injectors from a LQx fuel rail?
I sold the injectors from my LQ9 setup and today I finally had the time to dismantle the intake; however, I can not get the injectors out of the fuel rail.

The fuel rail log is off of the intake and all the retaining and harness clips are removed, but I can't pull the injectors out of the fuel rail. What am I missing?!

Shouldn't they just pop out like the car rails? My stock injectors were a pain to get out but they eventually did after some twisting and pulling.

last long as you have the clips off just try pulling out with a twisting motion. sometimes the rubber o-ring swells up from the gas and heat!

What Johnny said, after you have the clips off twist the injectors/ or rock them back and forth.
