fuel rails

how hard or easy is it to replace fuel rails
?mine are heavily oxidized

easy 25-30 min job

cool thanks

can i use 6.1 rails?????

yeppers... you will need to bend the elbow of the rail to get the cross over to fit in the back not much just a lil

cool now i need to find a cheap set, i found more hail damage so i have to dip into fuel rail fund

You can usually find them on lx around 85 bucks.

Well if you see a set let me know

XAN SOMEONE WALK ME THROUGH THE REMOVAL.....OR SUGGEST A GOOD WAY TO GET THEM LOOKING GOOD AGAIN.I TRIED NEVER DULL WAX,REAL FINE DTEEL WOOL AND EVEN SOME OTHER CRAP....WOULD TARN'X WORK? ?????

I think painting or getting a 6.1 set of rails is he only way to go but you would have to remove the rails for that. Go in the trunk and take out the #6 fuse (im pretty sure its #6 for the fuel pump), then start the car and it will die out. When it dies out start it again and repeat until it wont start anymore. Then the fuel lines shouldnt have anymore pressure in them. Remove the 4 screws holding the fuel rails on (2 on each side) On the clip from the fuel line to the fuel rails (passenger side on the rear of the rails) there is a clip that you have to remove. I used a small flat screwdriver to do it but be careful cuz it seems like it would break easily. When that line is off, simply pull the whole fuel rail/injector assembly off the intake manifold. It will take some effort but they will come off.

the rails are seperate from injectors right?

Yeah but there are clips that hold them in place. Just take a small flat screwdriver and push the clip off the injector and then pull the injector out. The fuel rails will still be full of gas so be prepared for some gas pouring out.

yes but the injectors are seated in the fuel rails...you have to remove the retaining clips off of each injector then twist and pull down at the same time and it they will come out of the fuel rails they have rubber o rings on them...

ill try it,wanna get them painted

its really not that hard...

Don't loose those Orings !!!

i have a 12 pack of modelo for the person who helps my dumb ass.....

In inkedups defense it's probably better someone else helps him. God know what might happen if you don't. Hahaha

hahah, if he didnt live out in the middle of bumble f**k, i might be inclined to help. I somewhat enjoy working on cars...but sorry man, im not willing to drive that far to turn some wrenches hahah

it's not that far

from niles it is...

Dont be scared to give it a shot. When I first did mine, I was nervous as hell but once I got into it, i found out how easy it was. Just follow the instructions I told u. And yeah, dont lose or damage the O-rings.

im sweating thinking about trying
