M42: Fuel Rail/Injector Removal Q's

[achtunge30]

I took off my valve cover, intake manifold, TB and am down to lower intake manifold, fuel rail and injectors...just by studying it carefully, and im a novice at this btw...I need to pull the fuel rail off with the injectors to release the lower manifold. Is this correct?

I unscrewed the two nuts on the rail, and removed all nut on the lower manifold. Do I just pull up on the rail? It doesnt wanna seem to come lose?

What am I missing?

I also have to get to all these wasted hoses underneath, that'll be fun.

Wow this is really old so i assume you figured it out.

anyway

To get the fuel rail outleave the lower manifold still attached to the head then pull it up and out. It is very very snug, if you really need to use a small pry bar or screwdriver to help out.
