    I'm trying to replace my front valve cover gasket. the bolt holding the bracket on over the cover is hard to get to and its right next to an injector. I've tried a normal wrench, i went out and bought a ratchet wrench, and tried a pivot socket. NOTHING WORKS. don't tell me to try again. I've tried enough times to where i don't care anymore. I've decided i need to remove the injectors to get access. how do i do this. don't tell me to loosen the bolts. tell me where and what exactly to do. videos don't help and i can't figure it out myself without breaking stuff. i know the whole fuel rail is gonna come off and the back injectors are gonna too. just tell what exactly i need to do. I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff, clearly

    For whatever reason, I can't figure out what bolt you are trying to get at.

    Do you have a picture of what you speak of?


    Otherwise to remove the fuel rail, remove the 4 nuts holding the rail down. There is one in each corner on a stud, then with your hands pull straight up and a little bit of force and rail will pop out, do that for each corner then place it off to the side. You will want to inspec the o-rings on the injectors, replace as needed.

    injector thats impossible to get to. in the pic its both the black dog bone but the metal bracket its bolted to next to the distributor

    ive hear people ***** about it, its one of them turn the bolt, 1/4 turn, flip the wrench repeat till its finger loose.


    if you really want the rail off, in the 4 corners of the fuel rail where it meets the lim, theres a nut on a stud, remove the 4 nuts, then pull up evenly on the rail pulling the injectors out of the lim.
