fuel rail cover. After you have successfully formed the brackets simply install the new bracket with the two
washer head type screws provided. After it’s nice and tight tweak the shape of the bracket so that it sits nice and
snug to the fuel rail.
3. Using a fuel line removal tool detach the fuel line and cap the fuel rail with the 3/8” vacuum cap provided. This
will help to reduce the amount of fuel that will spill out of the fuel line. Soak up any fuel that may have pooled
with a paper towel. (The fuel line removal tool is an inexpensive tool available at any auto parts store for just a
buck and change.) You will also need to unclip the small stainless steel safety clip before you can detach the fuel
line.
4. Your factory fuel rail covers contain two small rubber attachment sockets attached to the underside of each
cover. With a little force remove these sockets and then install them on the new stainless covers.
5. Now that you have successfully installed the attachment brackets and rubber sockets remove the release liner
from the Velcro strip attached to the brackets to expose the adhesive. Apply a single swipe of adhesive
promoter to the underside of the new covers where this Velcro strip will make contact, allow a few seconds to
dry. Set the new covers onto the attachment spindles provided for the factory covers and gently push down to
snap the new cover on and then roll the top side of the new covers so that they make contact with the exposed
adhesive on the attachment bracket and firmly press down. Once you have made that contact remove the cover
so that you can set the Velcro strip with your fingers more efficiently. Then reinstall the new cover. At this time
you will need to take a look at the overall fitment of the cover to determine if you need to shape the new cover
by hand to make sure it is sitting in a good position and nice and snug to the engine. Although you should not
have to make any extreme changes you will always need to tweak the shape a little to get just the right fit. A
properly fitting cover will sit nice into the scalloped areas of the plenum and sit nice and snug to the engine. If
the new cover seems to sit a little high or seems to have an excessive gap between the plenum and new cover
this can be adjusted by removing the new cover once more and then force the attachment bracket downward
and more tightly to the fuel rail. Then simply reinstall the new cover. Once you have achieved a nice close and
snug fit you can now simply snap on the fuel line by removing the vacuum cap and then push the line in place
until it snaps on securely. To make sure your line is in place properly pull the line with some force demonstrating
that the line has been successful installed. A properly reinstalled fuel line will require the removal tool to allow
you to detach it.
6. Now that you have successfully installed the new cover and fuel line you can apply the decorative fuel line cover.
This small chrome piece will contain butyl putty already applied to the underside. Simply remove the release
paper strip and then firmly press it into position. Remove the blue protective liner to finish the driver side fuel
rail cover installation. The passenger side cover installs in exactly the same way less the fuel line. Simply follow
the same procedure then remove the protective liner.
