67711, Need some help ASAP with the fuel rail Posted by Axewhlder, Mar-26-04 01:55 PM
I'm trying to put in my 30# injectors but I've come across a problem. I've gotten everything disconnected but I cant get the damn fuel rail out. There's two bolts under the rail that are impossible to access which is holding up progress. How did you guys get to them? It's royalling pissing me off. ;)

Oh, I know it can be done. Otherwise there wouldnt be so many guys running high boost around here. ;)
I've tried to get at it with a cresent wrench, a socket, even bare handed. Hell I even have my g/f helping me cuz she has smaller hands. I just dont know what the best angle is to get at it.

it's easiest removing the upper half of the inake manifold.

Ok, I wasnt aware I could do that. I thought the intake mani was a one peice deal where I'd have to get it from the bottom as well.

Yeah i just took off the upper mani..its not that hard, and for the extra time it takes to take that off, the more easier it makes it to access the fuel rail. It can be done without doing this, but its sooo much easier..If you do take it off, be sure to have a spare gasket on hand just incase it gets messed up when taking off the upper mani.

I apprecaite the help.
but.. Does anyone have a way to get it off without taking off the intake mani? That seems like a chore in it's own.

It's a good thing to refresh those gaskets anyway, I did the same as above. Go to Napa for the gaskets CHEAP!
