There should be a little tab you press and pull the connector off the injector

I googled and found this for a 6.0; hopefully it's the same-
"Pull and slide the grey tab slider then press the tab on the on the injector connector inward, it will come off easy"

Honestly don't remember. I just put in the question, "How do you disconnect the harness from an LS engine fuel injector?"

A small flat blade screwdriver helps me with this.

Got it, pull the gray plastic up and squeezed, thanks. By the way here is my LS build; https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...o-touring.html

Be very cautious when removing the injector from the fuel rail so you do not damage the O-rings, if you have a damaged O-ring you will possibly get a leaking injector.
