Okay so I went and bought the fuel rail line disconnect tool and I've spent about 45 minutes on it... It won't come off. So I thought I would just take the fuel rail off and move it to the side. Wrong... I removed all the injector connectors (broke half of them, the locking part, no biggey), removed all the bolts and now i cant get the fuel rail with the injectors attached to lift off the intake manifold. I've wiggled and gently pulled the hell out of it...
Any ideas???

Also I was going to flush the cooling system but I can't find the block drain plugs (found radiator drain plug) I have no idea where there at. Anyone have a picture or anything??

BTW 2001 dodge ram 360.

 

You know the fuel rail is bolted to the manifold right? If so, pull it harder. As far as draining the block goes, the plugs are near the motor mounts.

I see you removed the bolts, pull harder.

 

The injectors hang on to the manifold TIGHT. They are extremely reluctant to let go. I had to use a prybar under the fuel rail, and do pairs of injectors at a time to get mine off. Mine was steel though..... I think yours is plastic.... Be vewy vewy caweful.

 

Okay I will go try to pry them out like so^^^. Yes I know they are bolted. I removed the 4 bolts. I still can't seem to find the cooling drain plugs. I'm having trouble locating the motor mounts. Are they in identical positions on opposite sides of the block? or is one in middle and one in back?

 

Motor mounts are on the sides, for the most part they are big and round.

 

Okay so I took the prybar to the fuel rails and got nothing... no budging or anything. They will wiggle side to side but move up none. I'm pulling so hard I can hear the plastic stretching... This doesn't mean much but I bench press almost 400lbs and I still can't pull the fuel rails up...

 

try putting some flavor of lubricant down the injectors, where they go into the manifold.... if you have compressed air available, blow 'em out first.

 

Okay screw it... If i pull any harder on the fuel rail, it will break the injectors, I know it.. I'm just going to figure out how to seperate the fuel line. I have the tool but I got nothing... Is there a way to force it off? I've been patiently working on it for 30 minutes and I cant take it anymore...

 

Insert the tool into the opening, and give it a half turn or so. The line SHOULD pull off fairly easily.... should.

 

Okay I did this and still nothing. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I'm doing as I should and its not working. I'm just getting frustrated bad... I've spent 3 1/2 hours just trying to remove the fuel rail or the fuel line... Its so stupid. I'm mechanically inclined and I know I'm doing it right, its just not working... I put some oil down the injectors... Let it set for about 5 minutes and yanked like hell... I got nothing... also pryed the **** out of it and still nothing... I really dont know how I havent broke the plastic injectors yet. I have a huge pry par and I'm giving it all I have and it wont budge.
