Fuel rail and injector

I'm showing lean codes 171 and 174 lean on both sides . After much resaerch here it is that little elbow at the back of the intake. Can't get my arm down there . So next step is remove the fuel rail .. Once I take those 4 bolts out do I just pull on it until all injectors and fuel rail come up ... The injecters seem to have a funny little clip on them ... Help please!

If your going to remove the fuel rail, you should depressurize the fuel rail if it hasnt been sitting long. There is a relief on the rail. I would recommend you zip tying the injectors to the rail before you lift up, so the injectors stay with the rail, otherwise if the injectors stay in their seats and you lift the rail, be ready for fuel to go all over the place. Once they are zip tied, you kind of have to wiggle and lift on each injector. Make sure you have a clean working area around the injectors or debris will fall where the injectors seat.

Year and engine would help
