Hey everyone i need to get the fuel injectors cleaned and was just wondering the best way to go about removing them would be as its supercharged so its different from just removing the plenum on the standard ecotec

Remove the plastic cover from the top of the engine, this will expose the fuel rail. Undo the bolts holding the fuel rail down, unplug the injector wires, un-clip the injector clips and then gently lift the fuel rail up. Some of the injectors maybe a little tight to get out, just give them a wiggle.
When putting them back in, use a little rubber grease on the o rings.

Mine won't just pull out I've got a vs series 2 3.8l and the injector rail has no room to lift out any suggestions?

I took them out and gave them a clean by hooking them up to a 9v battery 3 were spraying like normal but 3 were only dribbling at best does that mean there completely stuffed or would I be able to still get those ones reconditiond?
