Question How to remove fuel rails and crossover?

I wanna pull them off for polishing, but I don't want to break anything in doing so. Thought you might be the guys to ask . Thanks

you'd be MUCH better off painting then polishing.. i would skip all that and get em chromed. imo.

you need a fuel line disconnect tool from pep boys etc., a 10mm socket and some rags to soak up the fuel.. also release the pressure at the shaeder valve first.

I've disconnected the fuel lines before so I have the fuel line tool. Why would you say polishing is a bad idea? Is it just hard to maintain or what? How much does chroming for a piece like that go?

They can not be polished they are steel. I can offer you our billet set with all the fittings to the stock fuel lines they are already polished and with all the braided lines and fitting it looks awesome.
