Default fuel rail assy removal

What is holding my fuel rail assy on?

Do I have to remove the clips off each injector to remove it?

Does it come off in one piece or do you have to split it?

I have the four hold down bolts removed from the rail assy. Appears as though the injectors are keeping it held to the intake.

Please Advise...........thanks in advance.

The L98 fuel rails are connected to the fuel lines at the front, and to the cold start injector line at the rear. Get all three lines disconnected and clear. You may have to remove the AIR valves to get at the fuel lines. The injectors are not fastened to the manifold, The fuel rails hold them down. My rails and injectors came out as one piece. Good Luck.

ITS OUT

Just took more force to pull it out than I was willing to use on the first few attempts

One step closer to pulling this thing out
