or just pull the fuel line off(gas will come out) and leave the rails in place save money and time

the longer the truck sits the lower pressure the fuel system will have

the vavle looks just like a vavle stem on ur wheels

Got everything off on the keg but the fuel rail and injectors. Any hints on how to pop the injectors out?

Blow the crap out of the holes the injectors go into with compressed air, if you have it..... put a bit of oil in there to lube things up nicely, and then pry on the fuel rail, trying to pull a pair of injectors at a time. Be gentle, as you don't wanna break the fuel rail..... major pain that would be.

Just disconnect the metal clip that has yellow tabs on it. Then pull the fuel line out. You's just creating more work for yourself any other way.

I couldn't figure out that metal clip thing, and was afraid of fuel pressure....

Popped the drivers side rail up, and one injector stayed in. I pulled it out by hand and put it back on the rail.

The fuel system only builds pressure once you turn the key. That's when the fuel pump hums and builds up pressure.
