Default Removing OR tapping fuel rail...

well to start off with...
has anyone removed the TC's fuel rail for what ever purpose?
is this as difficult as i picture it in my head?

would a better solution be to TAP it?
I wan't to run a 4N tap for a fuel pressure gauge or a wet kit.
where would i get some thing like this done professionally?

I know a place that sells OEM TC/camry fuel rails professionally taped for 75$ with a $125.00 core refund. but i got a feeling removing a fuel rail in one piece is much more difficult than it sounds...

any advise?

Well the removing part is good news...
as far as tapping it, such things are easy with the right tools...
i don't think i would wanna take a drill to it my self...
and how much would the tools and tap + fittings cost to do it right...

I wonder if $75 is worth having it professionally done , then just doing the swap my self...

decisions decisions...grrr...
