swapping a KADE fuel rail?

[mmm240]

I'm gonna swap my fuel rail. Any tips or things to watch for?

Get new O-Rings, not aftermarket, factory only.

If you got aftermarket injectors, just leave them on the rail and take it off in one piece its alot easier.

Yeah, I'm not pulling the injectors, just swapping fuel rails. Anything tricky involved?

Read the FSM? See what they say and warn about?

Well, thanks for nothin. But for those that search... There is a nut on the back of the rail that I didn't see at first, you can get at it easy if you take off the egr. Pain to put back on until I decided to screw that nut I was just speaking of back on first; the angle of the injector closest to it makes it a pain.

The FSM did tell me to release the fuel pressure first by pulling the fuel pump fuse (located on the passenger side of the engine bay) and then cranking the engine for a few seconds.

Of course I read the FSM first, and the haynes, but what I was asking for was tips on how to do it. You know those manuals only tell you to do it and nothing of problems when doing it or helpful hints on how to make it easier.

heres a tip, grind that piece off that goes onto the back intake manifold bolt, makes things much easier. lol
