First post here, searches have not helped. Am working on my ‘94 V6 Hardbody. I removed the plenum, freed the driver side fuel rail, and the forward mounting bolt for the passenger side fuel rail but I cannot find a second mounting bolt to free this fuel rail. I did remove the fuel line mounting bolt near the firewall and the obvious bolt between the the 1& 3 spark plugs area.

Also, after removing the injector caps I can rotate most of the injectors but not remove them...I should be able to at this point, right? I sprayed them with carb cleaner and may try to use a sliding jaw wrench to press them out next.

FSM just says remove fuel rail, remove injectors, no help there.

Disregard, found the last rail mounting bolt.

I was able to remove the inectors (210k miles) after soaking with PB Blaster overnight, putting the rail in a vice, using a hot air gun, and tapping them out with a 1/4” socket extension, wide part against the injector.
