fuel injector clips

[schetk]

I am replacing the cooling o rings under the intake. I can't figure out how to remove the wire harness at the FI. there are two metal side clips and one metal clip facing the valve cover. How do you uremove these? The manual just says remove and I'm afraid to break them.

Do the fuel rails stay on the intake when you remove the intake? What a pain for two $3.00 o rings on the coolant pipes. Aside from the heater hoses anything else I should replace?

I found it easier to leave the rail in place and disconnect the fuel lines.

And you have to squeeze those wires on either side to get the injector connectors to pop off. I remember that being a pain...

Thanks that was easier.

I am going to replace the valve cover gaskets while I'm in there.

Smart. Get the spark plug tube rings, too.
