3800 Fuel Rail Question

[jk99gtp]

I will be heading to ZZP in a couple of weeks to get an IC installed and to have them put in some ported manifolds and 3" downpipe I have sitting here.

I ordered some PRJ fuel rails, but there is a possibility that they might not make it ontime before my install.

My question is, If the new fuel rails dont make it in time for the install could I just have Zoomer cut my old fuel rails, and then when I get my PRJ rails remove the existing rails and install the PRJ's? How hard is it to remove the rails? Are there any special tools needed to do this job?

Thanks for any input ppl.

Its easy to pull the rails off. There are four nuts holding it down. Undo those to remove the rail. When you pull the rail off pull it off with the injectors. Then the injectors have clips holding them on to the rail. Pull the clips off and then pull the injectors out. Then put them in your PRJ fuel rails and plug everything back in. If you have Zooomer chop up your old rail they will probably lube up the o-rings when they assemble it back together. This will make it easy to pull the injectors off the rail. Also get a set of new orings. They are cheap and if you have everything off you might as well replace them.

You will need a special tool to get the fuel sender and return off the stock fuel rail. May have to go to the dealer for it, or see if anyone one the board has one.
