What is the proper process/steps for removing fuel rail and injectors?

I read the green book, but the description there is a bit confusing and diagrams hard to read.

Is it better to disconnect the fuel lines (LHS and RHS) by unbolting at the rail or by unbolting at the fuel pressure regulators?

 

I unbolt at the rial.

That way "dangling bits" are reduced a bit.

I have NO RH FPR, so just a supply hose direct to the rail connector.

The rest is simple.

Dont forget the BEER, about 6 to remove that sucker.

 

Fuel rail with injectors is out.

How do I pull the injectors out of the fuel rail seats? Simply with force? Or is there a trick?

 

Carefully slice away at the hoses at both ends until the hoses can be removed from the injectors and the rail. Time consuming and boring. Try not to nick the barbed fittings with whatever slicing tool you are using.

Some use a soldering iron to melt the rubber instead. I haven't found this method to work any faster but maybe that's just me
