I got to my injectors, but the fuel rail is stamped metal and I'm afraid to force it. Is there an easy way to release the injectors ? It's a 2.9 86 B-II, everything else is off, and the fuel rail bolts are off too. I just can't get it to release.... Thanks.

Pull harder. You won't break anything that wasn't going to break soon anyway.

Remove the stamped horse shoe clip and pull the injector straight out. If it feels stuck it is ok to pull injector out of the o-ring, then remove the o-ring.

i know its a stupid question but are you sure all bolts are out? there is one that is a PITA to get to next to FPR that i forgot about when trying to pull mine out. If so then the above suggestions are probably what you need. Good luck
