The fuel lines wont come off??? Did you undo the two 8mm bolts that hold them on?? Once those are off, its just a matter up prying up on the rail. Usually isnt that hard. Sometimes, the rubber o-rings on the injectors stick to the manifold, so you kinda have to get crazy with em. Other than that, they just pull off!!

Don't know if you got it off yet but use rolled up cardboard from a ceral box to disconnect to fuel line at the wierd little connector. Sounds funny but it works!Good Luck!

Let me know if you get it off dude. You have to push the cardboard into the connector, make sure the cardboard is stiff.

are you haveing problems takeing off the fuel rails or the lines
the rails all you need to do is remove the for 8mm bolts and they will come right off
as far as the fuel lines that connect to the fuel rails you will need a special tool that expands the metal oring thats holds the lines in place
you can get it a KRAGENS for like 10 bucks I think

yeah, like the guy above me said, to "seperate" the fuel lines, you need to get a set of 'quick-disconnect' plast rings that are used to disconnect fuel lines, A/C lines, etc. basically various diameter plastic rings with a break. You jam it behind the spring loaded quick connect thing on the fuel line and have at it.
like he said, about $10 at any parts store. I once purchased a set that didn't have one of the sizes (the in and the out fuel lines are different sized), so I just returned it and bought another.
