Fuel pressure regulator.

What size allen wrench do I need to take it off? 4mm seems too loose and 5mm seems to big, is there a 4.5? I didn't find a standard that fit either. Also anyone have any tips on getting it out to make it any easier?

Are you talking about the single screw that holds the fuel pressure regulator to the back of the fuel rail? If so, it is a Torx-27

I don't have a T-27, but a T-30 seems to fit.

Butcher!

And I bet you use a T-50 for the seat belt bolts instead of a T-47!!!

I got the bolt out, do you have to take 2 bolts out? Also, how do you get the regulator out of the rail, I'm really having trouble being that there's absolutely no room and I can't see what I'm doing.

Actually. I had to use an angle grinder on Heather's car. Go be sick !!

You will also need to remove the torx bit that hold both fuel lines together before they connect to the regulator

What size torx bit is that? 27? I can't get the 27 into that little area to see if it even fits, let alone loosen it?

Are you using a screw driver handle torx bit? Get one that fits on a 1/4" ratchet.
