Removing Fuel Rail....

All 4 bolts are out, whats the best way to pull it out without breaking it?
I pulled pretty hard but I am afraid I will break something. Is grabbing by the rails on both sides and yanking up the best way?

I lift one side at a time. If it's been a while since it's been off it might take a little extra force but it's pretty easy.

Yea you just need to wiggle it back and forth a bit to loosen up the injector O rings.

Make sure the area around the injectors is clean, so no dirt goes in the engine when they come out.

What I did was pop off the harnesses on the injectors and rock the fuel rails back and forth while pulling upwards. It took me a while but they will pop out.

And use cone-shape rubber plugs (hardware store) to seal off the
injector holes so nothing falls in.
