Stuck fuel rail connection
Saturday, November 12, 2011 3:20 PM
The connection on the supply side of my fuel rail is stuck. I'm at the point where the two are started to become rounded from trying so hard to unthread the one. I've tried freezing the fitting with CO2 and tried PB blaster with no success at all. The line itself can spin just fine as can the fitting that's in the rail, just like they are suppose to, but they two connections are stuck together. Any ideas on what to try to release them form each other?

Had this same problem. I recommend getting another line from the junkyard. Maybe another rail. That's what I'm doing.

Try kano kroil penetrating oil. It's better than pb blaster ever has.

I have at least one or two spare rails laying around if you need one. The reason I have a few extra's is because of this stupidity of some of them being impossible to take apart.

I've got another rail, but not another stock line. I could always cut the metal line and use braided hose as a last resort, but deff wish I could just get this one off. Or I could just keep the same rail and line on there now... While putting in new injectors I was just going to use my other rail too since I tapped it with a gauge already.

On the fitting that's actually in the rail, but spins (1" part)), how is that actually held into the rail? Is there a way to remove that as well instead of trying to disconnect the two?
