fule rail problem

so a couple of week ago i installed my stage2. i went to loosen up that bolt that connects to the fuel rail, and i guess i didnt put enough pressure on the bottom bolt, and that pressed on pieace shot off. i put some gasket sealent on it and got it back together. now i threw a lean code. so i went to check my gaskets on my injectors and i went to do that bolt again. maybe 5 pounds of pressure and the pressed on pieace and it just started to spray fuel. so i said screw it and jb welded that thing on. im letting it cure right now and tonight. i was just seeing if anyone else had this problem?

which bolt are you talking about? Im guessing the larger bolt that connects the smaller line to the rail? If so..you need to use two wrenches to loosen and tighen that bolt. Most likely you twisted the rail/broke when bolting it back on.

so there a 21mm nut on top that threads into this piece that's a 24mm that is pressed on or somthing onto the fuel rail. when i first did this, i probely didnt put pressure on that bottom one to support it. wich made it weak and then just got to the point of loosening the tabs on the side to make it come off.
