Default Removing Fuel Rail

How do you remove the fule rail from the intake manifold on a 502 MPI injection set up? I've removed the (4) small bolts, but the whole unit barely budges. Is there a secret? Please let me in on it if there is.

Thanks

Squirt a little WD40 at the base of all the injectors and give them a twist to free them up in their bores, then pull evenly on one side in the direction of the injector holes, NOT straight up. Sometimes a bit more twisting from one end to the other while pulling will help. Because of the angle of the injectors after one side is out, the other side is easier. Don't be afraid, there is nothing but the orings holding them after you have removed the 4 bolts... Are we havin fun yet? lol

Thumbs up Going to try

I'll try it right now. I assume you'll replace the broken injectors if it doesn't work right?
