....Koala Motorsport CD shows that you remove the fuel rail/injectors BEFORE removing the throttle body. Two 10mm bolts, two fuel hoses, one vacuum hose.
A regular 6-point socket small enough to fit is likely to break in this application (ask me how I know).

I'm in the process of replacing my TB intake gaskets, and have a few
questions..

1. What size torq is needed?
2. Is the torq BMW specific, or something I can get at the local parts store?
3. Does the entire fuel rail, and injectors come out with the TB?
