Fuel Rail Removal

Fuel Rail Removal
Well I am right smack dab in the middle of my spring tune up/repair. I am going after the plenum, but I seem to be stuck on removing the fuel rail/injectors I have bled the rails per service manual. Everything that I have read on here says I should just be able wiggle both sides of the rail assembly out all at once. Am I just not using enough force or am I missing a piece that I was supposed to remove. Again thanks for all the help guys.

after you remove the four bolts- one in each corner...put a long shanked screw driver under the rail and the blade on the intake manifold.. pry slightly.. start at the far end.. move it up a little, work your way back, prying slightly.. try to take it off as evenly as you can.. they can be a biyatch for sure..
you know, though, you don't have to take the rail off, right?

I had to pull really hard on my rails (straight up, of course!) to get them out of the kegger. I had replacement injector O-rings on hand, and fully expected to tear the originals when I realized how stuck they were. Didn't break any O-rings, amazingly, and the injectors stayed in the rail. When I re-installed the rail, I lubed the bottom O-rings with a very light coat of motor oil, and they went in fairly easy.
I just had a thought. WD-40 helps with sliding rubber hoses on/off connectors - would it help with pulling the fuel rail+injectors out of the plenum?
