Taking fuel rail off

[Andreas]

Hi,

I'm down to the fuelrails in my "tearing the motor apart"

Its stuck as hell.
(yes the fuelrail bolts are off and the feed/returns pipes are cut )

I have not used that much force yet since I thought I ask you guys first for some guiding to get them off.

Is just to muscle them off?

You do need to muscle them off. You didnt really "cut" your fuel lines did you?

Ok, I'll go to the gym tommorow before I get them off then

Yes I did cut the returnpipe. Alot of rustremover and it still didn't loose up. So I lost my temper and cut the bastard.
Gone go with braided hose from AFPR all the way to the tank.

I just swapped injectors & also had a difficult time getting the rails off of my 110K mile motor...appeared they had never been off.

I ended up taking a large flat blade screwdriver & gently twisted it between the base of the injector & the injector boss so as to pry them up. Only had to do a few & the rails came right up.

Thats too funny. Good luck with that buddy. You are going to have to replacve the whole line. And you cant run it from the AFPR unless youare talking abvout the "in" line.

FYI the whole point was replacing the rusty stocklines....a aeromotive filter and braidedhose are installed all the way.

Are you saying that the port at the bottom of the AFPR are the feedline?
Isn't the feedline on the drivers side of the fuelrails?

In most hydraulic systems you regulate the pressure by a regulated valve in the return line
