        They are off of the lower manifold now, correct? If not, take them off with the manifold because yanking on them to get them out can cause the pintle cap to fall off and go into a cylinder.

        If they are just stuck in the fuel rail...like the others said, just keep pulling and twisting. You will also want to replace the o-rings, and when you reinstall them you should use an "o-ring safe" silicone lubricant to slide them in so they don't bind or tear.

          The voice of reason, hold the snark.

          If they're still in the lower manifold you can try prying with two implements from opposing sides while standing on a board passed between two runners to keep the manifold steady. Same method can work on the rail side minus the board.
