Default Fuel Rail Removal

To my surprise I cannot find an explanation in this forum (hopefully with pics) of how to remove the fuel rail? I get remove the engine cover and its bracket (I'm after the injector on number 2). Obviously I need to disconnect the electricals (should I disconnect my battery as well)? I know how to use the special tool to disconnect the fuel line...…..However, as usual in my Posts (and as Johnny Nash would have put it) 'There Are More Questions Than Answers'!
But how is the rail secured? Is it just the two Torx screws/bolts on each side? If so, are there any other fixings, please? Any pictures please?

Don't know about the fuel rail removal procedure but I'd definitely disconnect the battery while doing this

Has a fuel rail never been removed on these cars or is the process self evident and I am being stupid?

If you go to page 1349 of the powertrain section (section 3) of the X350 workshop manual it details a procedure for removal of the 'Fuel injection Supply Manifold' which I presume is the fuel rail

Thank you - I have been through and through it and I did not find that page - I need to develop more patience and persistency!
For the benefit of anyone who may have followed this thread thus far and who may have the same copy of Workshop Manual as I have (X350 2003 to 2009MY
X350 – XJ VIN G00442 to VIN H99999), the pages dealing with Fuel Injector removal are from 2,592 - 2,596.
