How do you remove the fuel injectors?

I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the fuel injectors from the rails. I have an extra set that I want to get sent out the RC so minimize the wait time to get them refreshed. Thanks!

Once you take the caps off (the metal caps held down by screws), you need to twist and pull to get them out. The rubber o-rings make a darn good seal so it won't be too easy to get them out.

Just keep twisting and pulling.

If you didn't remove the fuel rails, you might have an easier time with the rails outside of the car. However, it's not a requirement to removing the injectors.

They are outside the car, I wonder if I were to send the injectors in the rails if they would remove them for me. Cause they do not want to budge. Any other tips?

They (RC) removed mine off the primary rail, but I had more time and removed the secondary's myself.

They will come out. I pried them out about a millimeter with a screwdriver then just twisted and pulled until they came out.
