Did you just pull the entire fuel rail to get clearance for the valve covers to come out?

I still want to know although, I paid my indy to change mine. I just hate not knowing how it's done.
I found it easier to unclip the box from the injector connectors from inside the box. On each injector connector, there is a little tab that is attached to the box that is holding the box to the injector connector. Using a small screwdriver, I pried each tab out of the way (two tabs per connector, total of eight) which disconnected the box from the injector connectors. This seems to be a lot easier than trying to reach underneath the box and pulling the little clips off.
Then when you are done, the box just snaps back into place.
