Taking off fuel injectors???

I'm taking off my fuel injectors to send out to get cleaned and matched. Do I need to take off the runners to get the injectors off the fuel rails??? Also, if I have to take off the fuel rails entirely, how do I take off those metal lines from the fuel rails? Also any advice in this process would be helpful. Thanks.

I recently put on bigger injectors and Yes you have to remove the Runners. I didn't take off the fuel rail I just got it loose enough to pull up the injectors. If you want to pull it off remove the lines in the back first to let all the preasure out.

GTA,

The steel fuel lines are not designed to be removed, so the rails and lines need to come off as an assembly. There is a plate at the front of the engine that serves as a junction point, where the rubber fuel hoses attach to the steel lines. Remove the connections there and remove the mounting bolts in the plate, then you can remove the rails and lines as an assembly.
