LIM gaskets replacement

Doing the LIM gaskets on a 3.1 I am stuck getting the wire harness off the injectors so I can move the fuel rail out of the way. I have the locking tabs pulled up and pushed the release tab pushed in but none of the connectors will come off. What am i not doing right?
 


I guess I'm not following. Are you trying to disconnect the fuel rail from the car wiring harness or the injectors themselves from the fuel rail harness? You'll want to leave that wiring on the fuel rail and keep track of which wire goes into which injector or you wont get the back together properly.

I had to do something the other day to disconnect my injector harness from the car itself, it's just like you said remove the plastic retaining clip (mine actually broke) and then push down on the lever and pull apart. You may not have the retaining clip out completely or aren't pushing down hard enough or aren't pulling apart hard enough. It's not tricky or difficult as I recall.

If you can't get it apart you can just unravel that harness from the car and leave it connected and set the fuel rail on something while still connected to the wiring.
 
I ended up removing the fuel lines going to the fuel rail of course the one with the threaded fitting the O ring went flying off when I off.
