I have a 2007 Peugeot 207 1.6 Hdi, and I'm doing a rocker cover gasket on it.

I have my trusty Haynes manual which has been brilliant, but it says (www.dropbox.com/s/oaqxzt6x3t9pbmk/1546799173673753...0) to remove the high pressure fuel pipes from the common rail (ie accumulator).

Now from what I can tell then is at the back of the engine underneath the air filter housing. The illustrations just show the removal of the unions at the injector end.

Any ideas how I might get anywhere near it to disconnect the fuel pipes??

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
