You do not need to remove the fuel rail to remove either runner.
I beleive you are refering to the last runner bolt closest to the firewall on the Driver's side. If it's the one on the back side, you can get to it using an extension and a torx bit from the passanger's side of the motor. If it's the one on the outside, that one is just simply a PITA. I use a flexible joint with several small 1/4" drive extensions and work it under the wiper motor housing from the Driver's side. Good luck.
