Default Stuck servicing PCV - Need help removing fuel lines

I finally have some time to service the PCV. I am using this write up: http://www.lakesidedp.com/uploadpics/pcv/

I am on step 6b, but I can´t remove the fuel lines. It´s very hard. Do I have to cut the line and replace it?

Help! I am stuck.

Thanks
Axel

Remove the clamps on one side of the rubber hose.

You cannot get the line loose on the pressure line?
The nut will not loosen?
If all else fails pull up on the fuel rail and remove the T-25 screw on the end and slide the connection out of the end of the fuel rail.

The rubber hose part is easy.

The problem is with the other line. It has a 14 nut that is terribly tight.

Regarding pulling on the rail, should I take any special precautions?

How am I supposed to remove this? Do I have to turn counter clockwise on the top nut while I hold the bottom nut in place?

I pulled the whole rail. I was afraid of breaking the lines. Now I am trying to remove the manifold bolt beside the dipstick.

I would be inclined to buy new O-rings and caps for the injectors before you put them back in. I had no problem with the fuel lines on the three PCV services I have done.

Once the rail is loose on the end is a little plate that holds the fitting into the fuel rail.

As long as fuel pressure is empty all will be fine.
