Default Esc Cos Fuel Rail Removal

Has anybody out there tried to remove their fuel rail?
How do you get the two fuel lines off at the rail end?
Dont really want to cut them off!!

i shouldnt try and remove them as youll end up snapping the plastic fuel line,if you do manage to get it off it wont seal again properly

My thoughts aswell. If the plastic inner pipe runs all the way through the outer pipe then maybe cutting it could be an option, as when installed again it will be a fresh piece of pipe that im plugging up to and then may seal!

If you cut the inside one at the end and then just slide over the outer one when finished the fuel will travel back down the pipe in between the two. You will need to change that whole section, when you do you can then just use regular fuel line.
