intake manifold disassembley how do i take the fuel rails off and the injectors out? i noticed the injectors are in the fuel rail and then go into the intake. do i need to seperate the rail from injectors or do the injectors come out still attatched to the rail??
I'm at the same part with my car right now, is it easier to pull the rails or to take the lines off? i got a 5/16 and a 3/8 disconnect but i don't really know how to use them. I think taking the rails out would give more access to the manifold bolts though. Do they just pop out or do you need to replace some seals or anything?
When you remove the rails/injectors from the manifold, I would recommend replacing the injector o-rings. If they haven't been removed in awhile, the injector orings can "flat spot" making them unusable. They're cheap to replace and a good idea.
I always remove my manifold with the fuel rails/injectors still attached.

Are you talking about the hard plastic piece that goes to the FPR? Theres like a rubber hose over a harder plastic hose.

i know that but when i was looking at them last night they are like a hard plastic line over the metal line of the fpr, and theres like a rubber 7/16" hose over that. Maybe ill have to go look at it closer when i have time.
You need this:
A/C/Fuel disconnect tool. It can be bought at any parts store. The next to the smallest size (can't remember what it is) will work to disconnect both lines.
yeah ill have to look at it again, there's like 90 degree things on the fpr. If i have any more problems ill be back on here with pics or sumthing. These are the tools i got http://www.matcotools.com/ProductImages/ads394.jpg they are just 1 piece plastic things. Do those work right for this?
