Can't get fuel rail out, need help?

OK I got the four bolts out on the fuel rail but I can't get the injectors out. How do I take them out?

Gently pry up with a screwdriver in the front, between the two rails. Then wiggle it and pull up. Do you have the fuel lines in the back disconnected?

I changed my injectors with the fuel lines still on, just pull them up. Sometimes a screwdriver helps, and some needle nose plyers to get the clips off of the fuel rail.

Try prying up on the front a bit as PatriotTA suggested. I've been able to change the injectors on my 93 quite a few times without disconnecting the fuel lines The lines are bolted down to one of the intake studs though. It will probably help to pull the nut off that stud (bout halfway down on the drivers side of the intake) to give the lines a little more slack while your moving the rails around.
