SC snout removal

It wasn't sarcasm.

I rip the blower off everytime for anything because it's literally, easy.

Oh, the way I interpreted that was you were trying to be sarcastic and say that taking the entire blower off is easier than removing the snout while still on the car. My bad.
 


you need a special tool to remove the fuel lines from the rail. I bought the tool for like 10 bucks because it's so much easier to take the sc off when the rails aren't flopping around inside the engine bay.

On what, the rail or LIM gaskets? There are several LIM gasket write-ups and excellent vids on YouTube. Just spend a good chunk of time watching and reading.

I mean on the fuel rails because most things don't give much detail on how to take them off.
Isn't there pressure that has to be released?
 


there is a black cap that you take off the fuel rail, and has a schrader valve inside, like the one on a bicycle tube, grab a paper towel to soak up any fuel that comes out and use a screwdriver to release the pressure

I will create one now. Now this is if you want to completely remove the fuel rail from the car.

1. Start the car and pull the fuel pump relay in the engine bay fuse box. Let car die. Reinstall relay.
(Or you can push in the Schrader valve in the fuel rail)
2. Remove your engine cover and the nut on top of it.
3. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator.
4. Remove any wiring or vacuum hoses that are in the way of removing it.
5. Get your fuel line removal tool (not sure on the sizes, one may be 3/8". Someone will need to confirm that).
6. Once the fuel lines are removed, remove the 4 nuts holding the fuel rail down.
7. Gently pry up the fuel rail until all injectors pop free.
8. Done.

If you don't need to completely remove the fuel rail, you do not need to remove the fuel lines, you can hold the fuel rail up with bungee cords attached to the hood.
