Remove fuel rail covers
Thinking about replacing my fuel rail covers and I am curious about how they are held on. My usual method of operation is is to break things first and ask questions later. Thought I would try a different route this time!

Pull up from the bottom.

They will come right off by simply pulling on them. I grab them on the top and bottom and pull. They are held on by permanent type clips.

There are spring clips that attach the covers to the fuel rails. Just a sharp tug at the bottom of the cover should release it. The cover on the passenger side of the vehicle, has the oil fill running through the cover - remove the cap on the oil fill just as you were going to add oil before removing that cover.
Once you replace your fuel rail covers, whether you paint them yourself or buy some already painted - it helps to wrap the fuel line on the driver's side with blue painter's tape to avoid scratching the new fuel rail cover.
