Ok so found the fuel leak on wife's car, leaking from where hose joins to fuel rail, quick question tho.
How do I remove the fuel line from the rail? Had a quick look, do these clamps undo or do I have to cut them?

You can't undo the clamps. I think you will find that Holden sell them as a complete unit, hose and rail. Might want to get one from a wreckers or go to a hose place like Enzed or Pirtek, they will most likely be able to help you with something suitable.

As said, I dont think you wont be able to get the hose off the rail without cutting it, it has a plastic inner that is almost a shrink fit to the rail.

you should however be able to get some 5/16" fuel injection hose and some hose clamps as a replacement. (its just a hose barb fitting underneath)

Pair of side cutters, snip the clamps off and fit a good hose clamp.
