Quick: I need help tonight.

can anyone point me to how to reseat the fuel rails in a 5.4? I'm changing plugs and what I nightmare. I have all but the driver's back two done and can't seem to get the fuel rail back on the passanger side. it popped off the front 3 injectors, but the #4 injecter stayed attached to the rail. I've pushed and probed with no luck for too long and I want to go to bed before 4 a.m
my im handle on msn messenger is chromegsx. I'll be checking mail and this thread too.

Thanks for the reply. I just got done with the change and the truck started so I guess I did alright. Turned out that the o-rings for the top of the injectors were still in the rail. Once I pryed them out and put them on the injectors the rail slid nicely down over the injectors. Someone mentioned using KY or dielectric grease to help the slide over the orings. Seemed to help. 5 1/2 hours for a spark plug change is a little ridiculous. Would I do it again? Only if I have too, which I probably will, next time I bet I cut my time by more than half. Now on to a much easier job of changing plugs in the 3.8.
