Hello!
[UPDATE 19 July: Got bolts off with husky microratchet!! : https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-Drive-Microdriver-Set-16-Piece-HMDS16PC/302905070]
[UPDATE 18 July: Universal joint tried only 1/4in would fit. Not enough torque. Head only socket still too big. Videos for 4.0L too dis-similar: http://www.therangerstation.com/how-to/engines-fuel-systems/how-to-replace-valve-cover-gaskets-fuel-rail-gaskets-lower-intake-gaskets/
Still need help with vacuum hoses!!
I would think extracting these fuel rails bolts trivial or someone thinks they are saving their livelihood]
I'm new and looking for help getting the fuel rails off my ranger. I got the intake manifold off (see pictures).
There are 4 complex hollow pipe like screews(see picture) next to the 8mm bolts for the fuel rails.
I can't remove the pipe screws. I have loosened 3 of them completely and they just spin. Tab holding the fourth one front driver side broke off!(problem?)
1st picture shows stuck pipe like screw in right of picture, left is fuel rail, bottom is sensor/computer plug.
2nd picture shows broken tab on left bottom and left top is fuel injector
Thx in advance,
JC Magras
