Intake removal - Original Pony Car

**94gtfreak** · 10-19-2009, 03:34 AM

Ok...so I'm doing the head gaskets on the 94 and need to take the lower intake off (duh!). What is the best way to go about removing the fuel part of it? Should I just disconnect the fuel rail and leave the injectors in or?? I really have no clue with this part..so HELP!

I would personally leave the injectors and rails right where they are if you're able to access all of the lower intake bolts with them in place. Otherwise, you open up the possibility of needing new o-rings and pintle caps. They're cheap, but why take the risk?

Oh ok..so I can leave them in place and still take the heads off?

You should be able to. Once you get the lower intake off, you're good to go. I just don't remember off hand if the fuel rails need to come off, so you can pull it. I pulled them off of mine because they got swapped from the stock lower to the Typhoon.

Ah crap. You'll need the tool to remove the power steering pulley, so you can pull the bracket. If you try to use one of the claw type pullers, you'll bend the hell out of the pulley. It's an actual tool specifically for Ford power steering pulleys. Autozone, or any of the other parts stores that rent tools should have one available to rent.
