By pulling on the rail harder than you think you really should be!

once you get one end loose be careful not to damage the tips of the injectors.

get a hammer, use the claw end to pry the rail off gently.
what exactly are you doing?

job done! 
i used a bit of wood as a drift to knock them out!
i bought a new cam cover and top inlet manifold and also ended up buying the lower inlet manifold, iam getting both covers powder coated but after seeing the gunk and oily Shite in the inards i decided to get them degreased and change the hole lot just incase mine are the same! gunk on the inside of the airways cant help the flow of air through the engine can it! once theve been degreased and ultrasonicaly cleaned the'll be nice and shiney again!
