Default Intake Emergency

I was driving my 00 Z and the stud on the driver side that holds down the fuel rail broke off...it started squirting fuel everywhere....the stud is barely poking out of the hole....what are my options?

Thanks guys!

the front driver side hold down stud for the fuel rail broke off, when looking at the engine, the fuel rail connects to the first injector, it's squirting out of there, I need to some how get that stud out and put another one in, my fuel rail popped off

Thanks

the actual plastic stud on the intake manifold broke off or the bolt broke off in the manifold?

Ahh, so your stud broke, and your rail popped out?

Get some vise grips and clamp onto whats left of the stud and try to take the stud out

Sounds like all you can do is drill the stud out then, if you dont think you can handle it, take it to a shop that can
