Not much to it really. 2 bolts holding it to the manifold, pull off the vacuum line and disconnect the fuel supply and return.Suggest you disconnect the battery first as the system primes itself to ensure there's sufficient pressure for when you start the car. You don't want it priming and spurting fuel whilst you've got the lines off - you don't want faded paint and a knackered alternator not that I'd now anything about that  Grab yourself some new O-rings from Mr Injector as the old one's will probably be past their best, bit of rubber grease helps them go back in to the manifold too.  Also, the fuel pressure regulator probably won't come out cleanly if you choose to remove it to paint the rail - factor in a new one if you do decide to pull it out. ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

They're filter baskets for the injectors, could do those whilst you're at it. ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

A garage changed my starter motor and misaligned the fuel rail while re-assembling and bent the fuel rail causing a bad fuel leak so make sure you line the injectors up correctly before bolting down.________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

Do you have a part no for the seals? Also do you know what spec the FPR seals are? Mines been removed for powder coating the rail, and the seals on it are ruined. ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

I think it was these one'sAs for the FPR seals, no idea but probably nothing special - just a nitrile rubber. If you're ordering injector seals maybe ask Mr Injector? Must have something in the right size for petrol application? ________________________________________ 1343Z4 coolant hose o-rings for sale198131 injector o-rings for sale |

Why would they have needed to remove the rail from the manifold to do that? You would just remove the manifold complete. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

They thought injector 1 was slightly weeping. ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |
