Fuel rail removal

I'm doing the dreaded upper intake mainfold change because I'm losing anti-freeze. I have just about everything loose or off except the 2 plastic fuel line connectors at the rail, how do the come off?

Thanks

I believe they require a special plastic tool. But you don't take them apart. You just lay the whole injector units up onto the firewall. The hoses bend enough to easily do that.

You probably have already done that.

Don't forget to put the new O-rings on the injectors that came with the manifold kit. Or if it didn't it's worth putting on new ones. GM in their service manual recommend replacing them EVERY time the injectors are removed.
