Default Need some help on removing stuff!

Hey, well im taking off some parts to send out to get painted. I got my suncoast air box off with uber ease.

Now... can some please include steps to remove my corvette FRCs? They were on the car when i bought it so i have no idea how they are connects or what.

Also the intake if you'd like. Im just whipping this thread up as im removing stuff because i cant figure out how to get some stuff off. I know i can search for a write up on the intake but if you'd like, you could post it in here for ease if someone is bored and has the time. haha

Thanks!

Pull straight up on the FRC right over the coil packs, theyre only clipped in. Then you can see how the cover is attached to the fuel rail. Just pull it off.

Youll have to slit the insulation tape to get the hoses apart to pry out the FRC. Or you can try prying out the FRC with the tape on but its major PITA. Dont really recommend driving without something to keep the heat away from the fuel lines lines though.

*Take your time and don't flex them* is the best tip I can give you on the install. If you flex it much you may "crack" the paint job on those covers.
