hey guys i'm pullin the fuel rail just to paint & curious...what's the best way..i've got the two screws on each side out...after that i'm kinda stumped cause it's trapped underneath the large bulk of wires that go under the engine cover...and getting those silver fittings off...special tool or what? seems dumb but sorry guys lol thanks in advance

 

can you post a picture or something, im not sure what fittings you are talking about here

 

not fittings but the metal tubes connected to the fuel rails



if anything give me a call at (352) 238-4812 tryin to get 'em off by sundown

name's Matt

 

isnt it just a torx bit to take that crossover tube off of the fuel rails?

 

so just the two torx screws have to come out & then the crossover tube pulls out of the rails?

 

i'd have to look at mine but im 99% sure that is all

 

Yea that's it I'll have em done tommorrow got too dark and too cold

 

just take both fuel rails off with the crossover tube in one piece.

 

nah i took the crossover tube off...i'm just painting the actual rails...i kinda like the metal look of the c/t

 

Go to O'Reillys and get a set of A/C & Fuel Line quick disconnect tools. They are cheap. Find the right one to go into the connector to spread out the tabs keeping it connected together. When your doing this, have a rag wrapped around it to keep fuel from spraying everywhere. After you get that off, remove the torx screws at each end of the cross over tube. Wiggle it out of the way. Be carefull, there are o-rings at each end of the crossover tube. Dont lose them! Then disconnect each injector harness from the injectors. Give the fuel rail alittle tug to pop out the injectors and rail from the manifold as an assembly. Remove each clip on each injector. Then spin the injector a few times in the rail using the fuel to lube the o-ring. Then carefully pry out each injector from the fuel rail one by one. When reinstalling the injectors, use a very small amount of vasilene on the o-rings to lube them going back into the fuel rails and manifold.
