:) Nah, I didn't tear it apart. But I do take pictures when it is.

When doing injectors or any o-ring work (including the fuel filter
which has the same type of connector) it's important to squirt a bit
of motor oil on the rings.
That repair part is shown in the FSM but it's not even in the online
catalog used at the dealer. It's a specialty repair part that was
intended to be used every time any fuel rail was off and not just for
the Jeep. Thing is they never use them so it dropped off the normal
ordering system. They still have them though. It's just a carrier
for the o-rings and spacer.
I wish they would have used AN fittings. Heck, next mod will probably
be custom fuel line. Especially if we go to E85 around here. The
stock rubber lines/pump/rings will melt with that much ethanol.
What ever you do, don't loose those injector clips. They only come
with a new rail and that sucker is way expensive. They are also a
hard to find junkyard part.

Re: XJ name that part/pieces
Doug, if you lose a clip just buy a large safety pin that has the same
approximate size wire and bend yourself a new one. It will last at
least as long as the "official" ones do.

Re: XJ name that part/pieces
Did you think to lube the o-ring before squeezing it back in? I've
used engine oil, 3-1, silicone, and soap - all seem to work a lot
better than a dry fit. K-Y might work as well...
