Rusty fuel rails from salted roads developed leaks at the damper(s). Can only see the forward damper, but the flanges are rusted enough that the screws/nuts are trash. I ordered new fuel rails with new dampers, thinking worst case. Since the manual I have doesn't cover the FI system for this year, and I have no experience with injector removal/installation, I am looking for some advice on best way to remove all the fuel rail parts without damaging anything else. Would appreciate any "watch outs". Thanks very much in advance!

need the quick connector tool to the fuel rail & new o-rings for the fuel injectors if you're going to re-use the injectors (lube them with engine oil)
