fuel rail removal

[nutter]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on removing the fuel rail on my surf? It appears to be secured by 17mm retaining nuts, but when i started undoing them it bent and broke the rail, and i ended up with the injector popping out! Any ideas on how to loosen this nut without breaking the rail??

Thanks

Only thing I can suggest is to try and hold the injector with a spanner as you undo the spill pipe nut.

hold the banjo with a small pair of moles ..gently and try tightening it a little before undoing, I had a problem, they are rather fragile (but are available from main agents) good luck!

Nice one! I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Thanks

caution

just one more point, the material is soft so you might raise a burr on the edge of the round parts - this will stop it resealing, check and if needed re-surface the faces on an oilstone or fine file and blow out the oilways!!
(if you have fingers like a pound of sausages, get someone else to do it!!)
