Where is the fuel leaking from? I imagine you're probably pinching one of the o-rings... Or forgot to install one of them....

edit*** Message DeathCougar and Vital22re hundreds of times about this. Maybe they have a few tips on how to take off the rail more quickly, since they have done it so many times.

don't force the injectors. lube the o rings with vasoline and spin the injectors into place. This keeps the o rings from pinching.

So today we learned....

-Don't force it

-Use plenty of lube

-Spin it in ( I will have to work on that)
