Just pull out the bolts and pull up. Reinstall in opposite order. Just after you get the rail removed from all of the injectors hold it over the head while the oil drains out.

On my 06, had to remove oil rail on passenger side to get out the old style lower section of the stand pipe. Ended up using a beveled small saw blade as a extractor tool and it came out easily; nothing else would fit that I could find in the junk box. First time for me with limited tools, so would not recommend this to anyone else. The top half of the stand pipe from the drivers side would not pull it out either, saw blade was my last resort.

i guess we'll see how it goes in the morning when I sober up.. If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all! And it all started by fraud from PMM with a kit they said was "their own made in the USA. At least Dorman is paying for it all.

I used a pair of these to grab the outside of the tube and pry upwards: Pliers,Mechanics Grabber - Rakuten.com Shopping
Since you're replacing the complete standpipe bending the old tube doesn't matter anyway.

When you do the passenger side you will have to remove the oil rail bolts and slightly pick up on the oil rail to get the correct angle to get the standpipe to clear the evaporator housing, the torque on the oil rail bolts is 10 ft/lb.

Thanks again. I was looking at the Haynes manual and didn't like what it said. Just to get the valve cover off it has you pull the alternator, heater hose and piping and the motor mount to lift the side of the motor.

Loooooord no. CAC pipe, glow plug module, unbolt trans dipstick tube as you take off the valve cover bolts and MAP hose. 12mm flex head gear wrench is your friend for getting to the back lower valve cover bolts. Oh, and the oil fill tube.

I finally got the passenger side changed. Stand pipe came out pretty easy. The top o ring was definitely leaking. Oil all over and in the square hole to remove it. The fun part was putting in the new one. The only 30 torx I had was too long to fit by the evap box. I pulled the heat shield out of the way and removed enough material with a burr file in a angle air grinder. I didn't even have to go all the way through the plastic. And yes, I covered everything up first. Now to put it all back together. The dang thing better run after all this-oil cooler, HPOP, IPR, stand pipes and dummy plugs! There isn't really any place else for a HPO leak is there? At least I'm not paying for it!
