Did you remove the brackets at the throttle body?

How about the middle bolt between the primary runners where the UIM bolts to the LIM?

you cant get to a bolt to the uim cause the f rail is in the way . . .

remove the rail.

replacing the o rings and gromets on sec. injectors is cheap and preventitive maint.

You're looking at the wrong bolt.

The bolt I pointed out is on the top of the upper intake manifold. There are no rails in the way.

There are no allen key bolts stock on the RX-7. Well, maybe the one on the BAC.
