Yes, I had learned through that experience.

I have photos, if no one minds.

My first DIY intrusion to the '93.

I leave the injectors in the rail and manifold.

Me too!

Although on earlier models, I'm not sure if you can swing the whole thing up like this with the fuel rail attached - I seem to recall that the fuel line connection is different when I did the job on a 94?

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

I do get your point Robert.

I did not know any different at first while doing the PCV and oil trap on my '93 as a complete Volvo newbie.
The last three times I was in that area, I was actually changing injectors.

I must add that it is so much easier to get at the manifold bolts without the fuel rail in the way.
After the initial intimidation of dismantling, just do not forget where you left the pieces.

I wish it was so easy. Have a plan before you take things apart. That is all.
It helps to label things when you want to re assemble.

There is a complete new idea for a thread. I'll post, possibly a comprehensive of "Not forgetting where this went/goes". Been there.

I usually cut that rubber fuel line and replace it. The 3" hide is past due replacement anyway.

On most of the cars there is a rubber fuel line on the passenger side of the rail that I cut so the manifold, rail and all can be lifted off the motor together. I believe it attaches tothe fuel pressure regulator. I replace it every time I do a PCV system replacement because the hose is usually hard and cracked anyway.

I know the one now.
Yes, the first time I had taken the manifold off the '93 Sedan that tube had basically fallen apart.
This general vicinity, fuel lines on the left.

Yep, it's sometimes a source of fuel leaks when left alone for 20 years.
