Removing oil injector on LIM

So I took out the front one no problem.
The rear one has no clearance b/c of the LIM so the wrench won't fit. Should I take out the LIM, raise it a bit, and unscrew the rear oil injector?

I don't wanna break those oil lines!

Thanks.

yeah..... take that bitch apart. replace all vac lines while your at it. and zip tie them so they dont pop off!!!
i know your in cali. and idk if a block off plate kit is ideal for you cuz of emitions. but you should try eliminating your rats nest while your at it.

If the wrench you using is too fat/wide, grind it down to fit. There should be NO reason at all to have to remove the lower intake manifold to remove a oil injector. Not required at all.

Thats where I stopped working on my car last night. Today I'm going to buy one of those wrenches that swival or turn. 14mm I think

I guess if you had someone help you hold the LIM up while you take off the oil injector. You should go buy the $3 tool. That way it makes it easier to install.
