FPR remove and replace ?

FPR, Easy way to remove and replace ?

Hey all,


Ok after an hour of tedious, tight work I got the FPR off the fuel rail. My question is..... Just how much do I have to take off, to make it possible to get the FPR back on???

I unplugged and removed the EGR to access it but left the TB and spacer in place.

It's obvious that while I could remove the allen screws in that tight space, there's no way I'm gettin them back in.

So from those that have done this, do I have to take it all apart or is there a different approach I can take?

Car is an 88 5.0, mostly stock for now.......

Thanks for the help....

Instead of trying to use the allen wrench in that little space. Just take the Upper intake off, and unbolt the fuel rail. swing it up and get the bolts in fast.

+1 for pulling the upper. I changed the FPR on my 91 many years ago and I did it without pulling the upper and man what a pain in the ass that was . Never again.
