disconnecting fuel rail 5.7 Hemi??
Does anyone have experience with disconecting the hard line from the fuel rail?? Are these a pressure fitting? What is the best way to disconnect? I can't seem to get mine apart. Thanks

This is for the 5.7
(1) Remove fuel tank filler tube cap.
(2) Perform Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure.
(3) Remove negative battery cable at battery.
(4) Remove flex tube (air cleaner housing to
engine).
(5) Remove air resonator box at throttle body.
(6) Disconnect all spark plug cables from all spark
plugs and ignition coils. Do not remove cables from
cable routing tray. Note original cable positions while
removing (Fig. 22).
(7) Remove spark plug cable tray from engine by
releasing 4 retaining clips (Fig. 21). Remove tray and
cables from engine as an assembly.
(8) Disconnect electrical connectors at all 8 ignition
coils. Refer to Ignition Coil Removal/Installation.
(9) Disconnect fuel line latch clip and fuel line at
fuel rail. A special tool will be necessary for fuel line
disconnection. Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
(10) Disconnect electrical connectors at all 8 fuel
injectors. To remove connector refer to (Fig. 17). Push
red colored slider away from injector (1). While pushing
slider, depress tab (2) and remove connector (3)
from injector. The factory fuel injection wiring harness
is numerically tagged (INJ 1, INJ 2, etc.) for
injector position identification. If harness is not
tagged, note wiring location before removal.
(11) Disconnect electrical connectors at all throttle
body sensors.
(12) Remove 4 fuel rail mounting bolts and holdown
clamps (Fig. 20).
(13) Gently rock and pull left side of fuel rail until
fuel injectors just start to clear machined holes in
intake manifold. Gently rock and pull right side of
rail until injectors just start to clear intake manifold
head holes. Repeat this procedure (left/right) until all
injectors have cleared machined holes.
(14) Remove fuel rail (with injectors attached)
from engine.
(15) If fuel injectors are to be removed, refer to
Fuel Injector Removal/Installation.
