Fuel Injector Removal
Im attempting to remove the fuel rail on my LT1 on way to tearing down the motor and i just cant seem to dislodge the injectors out of the manifold.
Is there any advice or tricks to ease in this?? Ive pulled and wiggled and pulled some more and i just cant manage to get them out.
Im about to just hook the engine hoist up to the fuel rails and just jack it up lol but i dont want to break anything.
Thanks for any help!

Re: Fuel Injector Removal
I'm not sure about an LT1, but my original injectors on my L98 were stuck pretty good...
If I recall, I took a breaker-bar and stuck it underneath the fuel rail (from the side) and GENTLY eased it up. Be patient and make sure you are really careful - you don't want to damage the rails or anything else!
Hope this helps!

Re: Fuel Injector Removal
thanks i will try a pry bar, but i dont think it is as easy to get one under the rails on an lt1 as it is on my lb9. But thanks for the input!
