Default Help needed getting fuel rail off

All lines are disconnected, connectors to injectors are off, 4 fuel rail bolts are off, even sprayed a little wd-40 into the injector bungs for a lubricant as recommended by a fellow member.

Fuel pressure regulator is still on.

I can rock the rail assembly and all the the injectors left/right and front/back but it/they wont come up. I don't want to damage anything so I haven't pulled too hard yet.

Any thoughts,

Chuck

You have the bolt that are holding the fuel rail off the front of the manifold? They you have to force it....

I just replaced my injectors on my 86.
I took a long screw driver, put the end on the intake manifold and pryed up on the rail between injectors. First on one side and then the other. They just pop out with a little force.
Good luck.
