Hello Emilio!
The rail is supposed running between the pump and the console due to risk of short circuits in the very narrow gap.
Normally, the engine is reliable enough, that there is no need to unmount the console at all. This is only neccessary, if the cylinder head gasket has to be renewed.
If you want to avoid difficulties, you can use single cable connections to each glowplug instead of the rail, which connect directly to the fusebox. Disconnecting them from the fusebox, you will be able to take off the console without dismounting them from the glowplugs. A cross-section of 1.5mm² will be sufficient for each single glowplug.
I do so because then I also have the possibility of measuring the individual glowplug´s current with a clampmeter at each cable. But normally this is not necessary.Ciao,
Tiemo
