fuel rail removal?
I have done some searches and only came up with injector removal tips and aftermarket fuel rail tips, but no tips on how to get the fuel rail out. I am in the middle of my hose job and I need to get the fuel rail out. anyone want to enlighten me on how this is done. thanx

I had a few extra notes that mention the fuel rail: http://web.newsguy.com/geesaman/Write-up.PDF
Rotoboy, why would you suggest removing the LIM, which means removing the downpipe and turbos first? Sounds like a death wish.

yeah you dont have to remove the fuel rail to do a hose job. unless you just want to get it out to port it for biggger injectors since you halready have most the other stuff apart at this time

if you all did the hose job without pulling the fuel rail, how the hell did you get the hoses off and back on that disappear underneath there. you guys must be surgeons or some ****? if I can do it without removing it, I will. chime in

Dave.... since november I searched for a detailed write up for hose jobs. The closest I got was "before, middle, middle again, and after". Either that or just a simple huge document explaining how to do it, what to take off and what to use blah blah. And now... when I gave up, looking and hoping for a guy with a sec. boost problem like mine and ACTUALLY tells what his problem was, I find this. Dave... I love you .
Ok really, thanks alot for posting that write up. It's gonna help me alot and end my search for hose job write ups.

I did the hose job without pulling the fuel rail by using long needle-nosed pliers with duct-tape wrapped on the ends to prevent cutting the hose. My years of playing Operation as a child paid off.

Haha. That's true! The one nipple on the inside of the LIM is hard to get to and I used long pliers and a coat hanger to get it on. When I put the new motor in much later I remembered to add that line while the LIM was still off!

alright, follow-up. I did the rest of the job last night. Everyone that said you can do it without moving the fuel rail was right. you basically have to move the engine harness up and out of the way, after careful manuvering you can access all three hose nipples under the rail. just make sure you route the harness back the way it was. thanks for the help and good luck to anyone doing this. oh helps to have hands and fingers that can get down in there. luckily I had a friend that did.
