Fuel Pressure Regulator Swap

[Mikey1968]

Need to swap out my regulator....I tried to do it quick and it looks like it's going to be a pain as the stupid bolts are upside down.

What's the easiest way to change out the regulator? I read about a short allen wrench but that won't work as I have a huge wire bundle right under the regulator. Right now, it looks like the upper intake has to come off.....GROAN!

Anyone have a detailed instuction sheet or a website with photos for an easier way???
Thanks,
Mike

Upper has to come off. You might have to pull up the fuel rail too. It is a huge pain to do.

Its not a big deal, but a little more involved than just unbolt and bolt on new.

Should I get new O-rings for the injectors, then?

I'm hoping a new stock regulator cures a stubborn high speed hesitation....
Thanks,

It wouldn't be a bad time to do the o-rings at that point. It certainly can't hurt.
