Hi Guys,
Not sure this was the best place to ask this, but I'll give it a shot. Anybody have any pointers for removing the LFX fuel rail? I want to clean out the fuel system, but this is proving a lot more difficult than I thought. The fuel rail comes up with the injectors still mounted and it doesn't seem like there is enough room to get it out. It comes up a couple of inches and then the injectors can't squeeze out between the head and the other injector rail. I looked online and they seem to skip that part in detail. One guy pulled the head off in a demo and he pulled the injectors out first, but on my engine is a bit different. The injectors do not sit on a separate rail to push against.
Regards,
Joel

Nevermind. I figured it out. The secret is to rotate the injectors to a vertical position and then you still have to play games pushing forward/backward and tilting front to back. Also start with the left side bank. Leave the connectors on the rails and pull the rail out with the connectors.

I would highly recommend leaving the fuel rail alone unless you absolutely have to remove it. Total PITA.
