Fuel Rail removal help + kompressor.

Hi in my insanity I decided to finally replace the lower crankcase breather pipes and valve, due to, well anyway it's being done and I have watched the videos of how to remove the fuel rail but it will not come out. Any suggestions? Yes I have unbolted to two bolts and removed all the electrics. I don't really want to force it. It moves around freely enough, but won't lift out. Also before putting it back anything I should clean or check?

Also as the Kompressor etc has to come out, anything there I should check replace as a matter of course.

Just watched another video where if the rail will not lift you can unclip each injector and then get them out separately, so I will try that.

Often there is only just enough room. Patience is key. Fuel rail is normally pretty tough

Well the rail is off, but the injectors are still in place, but at least I've now got the Intake manifold off. Next problem. I have found the 2 front bolts for the Kompressor, but where is the other??? Apparently there are 3, but there doesn't seem to be any access to any others.
