ummm... bolts can't be squeezed out, and it they can then they're RS.
should be as simple as undoing hoise clamps on fuel lines and pulling hoses off the lines and rail

Presume you're having trouble with the quick release connectors at the firewall?
They need a piece of thin split plastic tube, similar diameter as the steel pipe and about 25mm long, that will slide over the steel pipe.
Push the tube up into the quick release connector at the same time push the connector into the steel pipe. You'll hear it click then just pull it off.
I made mine from the top of a biro.
I first tried some black poly from the sprinkler system, which worked but was a bit flimsy.

Gregory's manual states to use a pen lid, cut the top off, and put a slit down the side.
