Default fuel rail

Hi,

I need to replace my lower manifold and I have bought one with new injectors and fuel rail attached. I'm happy with removing the upper manifold, what steps need to be taken to remove the old fuel rail?

Chris, there will be a few more bolts that you will need to undo, a plug on each fuel injector and then you will need to follow the fuel line on around to the left side (your driver's side) and undo the pressure fitting there (will need a special tool to undo the fitting there). At that point it will practically fall off the car.

Oh yeah, there is also a plug on the fuel rail pressure sensor. You will need to undo that plug too.
