I won't even touch one of those valve without one specific wrench, 4 feet of pipe leverage (difficult geometry), and another set of hands to keep the wrench in position.

Ya I will be very careful that is the last thing I want
Thats the thing it isnt fully stripped yet im heading up to my buddy in a little bit and he's been nice enough to not charge me yet but to R & R the Fuel Rail is a 4 hour job 4 hrs x 100$ =400$ which im not very happy with...
Get a wrench/tool and hold a high quality socket on the bolt and then have your buddy slip a 4 ft bar on the socket wrench and pull, while you use the Wrench/tool snacthed against he head of the socket wrench and a protrusion on the vavle cover. That method ensures the socket wont slip off the plug.
I use Ted@MPL's method and it works for me.
A stubby straight gear wrench can be put in there without removing the glowplug bracket but you may have to remove a fuel line or two. Then take a looonnnngggggggg square shaft prybar and wedge it between the wrench and something solid on the backside (I can't remember what is there to pry off of offhand). Pull down and it should go. The first time I did it, I thought I stripped it because it went so easily. But it worked awesome.

Very salty, Does that come with Vaseline or crunch peanut butter, It's a 40 min job, I told you 2 hrs thinking you could do it in that time.
we got an impact gun hooked up to a nitrogen bottle, it would not break lose and it is fully rounded off. I went ahead and ordered PPE's HP Fuel Rail in case
Oh so you guys already got the rail off I take it?
nope lol we fooled around the FPRV and then it was like 3 o'clock so I called Kat and ordered the rail.
Oh, guess there is more room to take the valve off on your truck compared to mine, no way I could fit an impact on mine
