Fuel Rail Removal?
OK, flame me as an idiot, but at first glance, I can't seem to figure out how to remove the fuel rails in my '01 cpe. I've looked for bolts, but can't seem to see any. Granted, I lifted the hood for a quick check in my garage after dark, and maybe the lights don't happen to shine quite perfectly, but I would think it would be obvious.
I'm preparing for a decarb with SeaFoam, so I need to see where the vaccums into the intake are.
Sorry for the stupid question.

Remove the Plastic Fuel Rail Covers by gently prying them up. They should easily pop out.

Just lift up. Hardest part is getting the driver's side one past the fuel line without scratching the cover.

I just put Kewl covers on mine. They said on the driver's side to bend the right edge downward, and work it in around the braided fuel line that runs through the cover. Worked like a champ. The driver's side pivots at the top of the cover, and snaps in at the bottom. Really easy, and they will take a lot of flexing without breaking.
