fuel injector clips/harness question

today i was removing the fuel rails from my motor i noticed i had to remove 2 clips to the primaries and 2 to the secondaries..and 2 more clips(one green). these were the only things still holding my harness onto the motor. how do you undo all of these without damaging them. ive been trying to unclip them for a good half hour and i cant get any...what is the correct way?

You need a pick set, or a pocket scredriver. You dont need to remove the clip, just unhook both ends of it, and you can remove the connector. And you need patience.

Yep, there is a metal clip that holds it on. Take a small flat-head screwdriver and pop it out. If you take it out far enough on one side you don't need to pop the other side off.
Just be very careful as the clips are very fragile. Of the 6 clips you are talking about 4 of them disintegrated when I took them off and the other two broke.
If you do happen to brake the injector clips you can buy new ones from Summit (look in the MSD section) for not much money and they are much sturdier.
