Cool, thanks for that.

Got the beauty cover off today, to fit the L76 VZ 6.0L split covers.
Not a hard job to do.
Start with cold car, left over night is best.
First release pressure from fuel rails, unplug the electrics (clips that attach to fuel rail and the to coil packs), then remove fuel rail bolts plus another 5 that hold a couple of brackets.
Slowly pull up rails evenly until injectors pop out (should be able to lift up rails a few inches).
Now pull the metal clips off that hold the top of the injectors to the rails, remove the injectors (fuel rail can now be lifted right back).
Now you can pull the beauty cover off.
It is a good time now to clean injectors and remove any dirt where the injectors sit in.
Finally apply a good amount of rubber grease to the o-rings on injectors and place back in the manifold, line up rails then seat them in, replace metal clips.
Replace all bolts and clip in electrics.
Turn over engine and check for and leaks, put covers on.
Job done.

Firstly, apologies for digging up an old thread. First post so I'm excused

When relocating the heater hoses, when you lose coolant, are there any issues when adding the coolant back with air in the hoses?

I had mine done as part of something else being done so can't say for sure but I suspect the thing to do is leave the radiator cap off when first filling up and pour the coolant in through there?

Not the same thing, but I just changed out my top hose and lost a litre. Filled it through radiator cap as Ed advised. Ran it with cap off to operating temp, zero issues.
