Default how do you take off and install a fuel rail correctly???

my 2nd injector is leaking where the fuel rail and injector meet so I think its a O ring. I searched on how to do this but all i found was other people having problems and people telling them to use thread sealent as well and or having them IM them so they could help. Well now I need help bad. How Do I removed and Install the fuel rail properly?

It's just the 2 bolts to remove it, and while you're in there you may as well replace the o-rings. Put a little silicone spray or ATF or something on them to lube them up when you put the rail back on, and make sure you don't pinch any of the seals. Slide it down straight and put the bolts on. Have someone turn the key on (don't start the car) and watch for leaks. Cycle the key a few times to make sure it's ok, then crank 'er up!

PS, Thread sealer

Put some hand soap on the o-ring when you push the injectors into the rail, What you probably did was broke the o-ring when you pushed it in..

I always install the injectors into the fuel rail and then put the rail on to the manifold..

take off ure gas cap.
take off ure fuel rail and put oil around the new oring b4 u slide it back in to make sure it dosnt pinch while it goes in.
also dont tighten your fuel rail bolts too tight becuase it can pinch ure orings and may leak again.

On top of your fuel filter you have a small fuel service bolt. Put some shop rags around it and open it up.

That's why you use the repair manual...
