If you have nothing better to do, pull the hydraulic parts. and one of the FI parts.

For the FI, there is a long pipe that connects the WUR to the rest of the system. That pipe is rubber lined, so it's not repairable. Don't bend it on removal. Also, there is no guarentee that it's any good. You can save the WUR too.

For the hydraulics, there are two rectangular bricks, each connected to the sway bars (one front, one back) that control the system. Cut the metal pipes with a heavy duty wire cutter and then unbolt the valve mount from the car. The adjustable metal rod that connects the valve to the sway bar can be salvaged usually (new, they're like 50$), but it's faster to break it.

The tank has a valve assembly on top, rescue it by cutting the metal lines. Preserve the soft rubber line that connects to the pump on the motor. Save that pump too.

Lastly, there are the four hydraulic pistons. They have a rubber hose attached that has to be kept with the piston, don't cut it. Just cut the metal line it connects to instead. If you really want to save them, the lower control arm is unique to the 6.9 too.
