Do I need to disconnect that line before removing the intake?

Its on the drivers side near the front. Its a hard line, not a rubber hose.

Whats the deal with it.

And anyone have any tips in getting this thing off. Steps to take.

Its an LS6 intake.

Its connects to the fuel rails. You should be able to pop out all the injectors from the manifold and turn the fuel rails, to get them out of the way.

Ok cool. But why is there a fuel line going into the intake, where does that fuel go? I actually never really noticed that line.

It's for the injectors

There are 2 lines. One is for the fuel, and it can be disconnected with a special tool (not expensive). I think it's 5/16', but I'm not sure. No return line on this setup.

The other one is for the evap.

So fuel goes INTO the intake through that line, then through channels inside the intake to the 8 injectors?

Also, how do I relive the fuel pressure first before disconnecting anything. Can I just push the nipple on the drivers side rail to let the pressure out?

You can easily do it with out the tool. I have swaped LS6s on to 4 different cars and havent used it yet. So save you money

Also, once I get that line off, what next. Whats the steps for this?

Once I get the intake off or at least moved forward....where exactly is the camshaft sensor?

Does the intake just need to be moved forward to get to it or does it have to come all the way off?

Also, I see it say to just pull up on the rails and the injectors will just pop out of their respective holes. Do I need to take the metal clips off each injector?
edit: I guess I don't need to remove the injectors at all, just leave the rails and the fuel line attached, right?

Yes, you can leave the injectors and fuel rails intact.

The best way to relieve fuel pressure is to pull the fuel pump fuse while the engine is running, and then after the engine stalls, push the schrader valve on the rail to relieve the residual pressure.

The tool is available from any parts store. I would buy an aluminum one, not the plastic one. I suppose you could pick away at it till it comes apart, but I wouldn't want to damage the fitting.
