Take each injector line out one at a time or with the Common Rail on 2007 5.9 CTD?

Hi. Maybe a dumb question.
I'm still going to change out my six injectors soon and was wondering methods of removing the injector feed lines out is quicker.
Method #1: I'm thinking I either take all six loose from injector nozzles and leave them connected to the Common Rail unit. Remove this as a unit after unbolting the works from the intake manifold.
Method #2: The other method would be just leave the Common Rail alone and remove each fuel line off individually as I do each injector. Just reinstall single line right after that injector is completed.
Method #3: I could also remove six feed lines and reinstall them after all six injectors are in. Common Rail still in place.
I've been planning on this for about a month but my shoulder rotator cuff has been a MAJOR problem lately. Thank you for any advice, Herb :cool:
 
Take all six out for easier access. You can leave the rail in place. Search "injector install with photos" when your ready.
 
you will require a cummins tool to remove the feed pipe to the injector as there is a locking nut there once youn have removed the locking nut you will need a puller to extract feed pipe from cylinder head as there are 2 small locating ball bearings on this pipe to locate into cylinder head
why are you removing injectors

As Sag said, #3 above. I have always done it that way (see Issue 51 for example). I have never used a puller, just a small screwdriver when necessary to pry out the connector tube.

thanks joseph.
we do have a problem with a 2005 5'9 cummins that dosent want to start. fuel pump replaced and tested, injectors all good*No, 4 replaced, new fuel pump in tank,
we think we ve got ourselves a fuel delivery pressure issue. does anyone out there know if there is a leak off rail insert available for this engine? and if so where?
 
I have done a few without buying an special tools, have "modified" or built a few. The tag on the fuel line does tell you what # the line goes to. My offer to give you a hand is still open.

Hi. I have had three injector solenoids fail on my truck this year so far and they may be the originals at 165,000 miles. I have another set with low miles from a friend that upgraded to BBI injectors. I wish there was a way to tell if mine are the originals or not. I have a lady slipper tool to pull the injectors, Crow foot wrenches to do the feed tube removals/torques and a Torx tool to pull the feed tubes. I do see that the tubes last numbers are the cylinder numbers. The front four should be darn quick. The back two are the worry some. I have that insulator pad hanging down in the way. I ty-wrapped it to the wiring but it still hangs down. What does others do with it? Thanks, Herb
 
Hi Bob,
Nice offer but I hate to take up your time. What do you do with insulation over the back two? thanks, Herb
 
for the insulation , I've used some 3M spray glue & cut some wood wedges to hold in place. It's been about 3 months & still holding

I used a couple of self tapping metal screws with big diameter washers and screwed the insulation onto the firewall.
