Fuel rail removal question??
Any thoughts on how to get the four fuel rail bolts loose. Can't budge them, afraid to put to much pressure on them, don't want to strip them.
Any hints or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

if you can, start the motor up and let it warm a bit... that should free them up.
you do want to be careful... your dealing with aluminum there.
***EDIT***
another thought - try a hot air gun or a blow dryer... sure don't wanna use a torch!!!!!!!!!! :crazy:

If you can't get a 6-pt socket onto them use a quality 6-pt box end.
Try an impact on the wrench handle; a little Liquid Wrench wouldn't hurt either.
