Video tutorial

In this video, we see how it is possible to remove the fuel rail of a Toyota RAV-4 MK3. First, we remove the electrical connectors by pressing from the back, and then we remove the 10 mm screws on the sides. We will also need to remove the fuel supply that comes from the rubber tube shown in the video.

We will then remove the fuel rail and disconnect the wiring located right behind it: There are sealing bolts that we will need to remove. Now we see the two 12 mm bolts, for which the repair manual tells us that we should depressurize the fuel system.

The YouTuber did not do this, he just wore safety goggles before doing the job, because the fuel will spray out; you must be ready with a cloth to contain it.
