91 Thunderbird Injectors

[chuck16]

Hey Guys,

So, My Dad has a 91 Thunderbird with the 3.8 in it and the Head gasket went on it. So, we got down to the Intake Manifold and looked at the Injectors and started scratching our heads. How do you take the Injectors out? I was tempted to try and pull them out but, I didn't want to break them.

Is there a removal tool? Or do you just pry on them until they pop out? What about the fuel rail, Do you have to disconnect that too?

I tried searching around and there seems to be a lot of people saying yes you have to remove them but, Nothing about how to take them out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I usually lurk around the Silverado forum as you can tell by my sig but, I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks a lot

Look around the fuel rail and you'll see a couple places that its attached to the intake manifold. They are probally star type.
Take them off and pull up on the injectors and the rail and they will all come out togethor.
While you have them off check out the "O" rings and the pintle caps and replace any that are cracked/bad.
