[Shotimes] question #2 of 4 - fuel injector and fuel system cleaning

[James F. Ryan III]

I stored the car with a full tank of gas and added the proper amount of
Sta-Bil.  However, Sta-bil says it's good for only a about a year so I plan
on draining the fuel tank.  I'm a little worried about the fuel injectors
being gummed up so I will be taking them out and having them cleaned and
checked for flow.

Since the car has been sitting for over a year there shouldn't be any fuel
pressure in the rails, correct?  Is it as simple as removing the eight Torx
screws on the bottom of the rails and then gently pulling up on the rails?
Will the injectors remain attached to the rails or to the cylinder heads?
Lastly, do I need to remove the fuel lines from the rails first or will the
rubber sections be flexible enough?
