Re: replacing a fuel pressure regulator
yes, that is what you do, but you need to bleed the pressure from the rail first. Most likely, those screws are tamper proof. I ended up having to go to my local Sears to get a tamper proof socket that worked. Most likely the top of the regulator will be seated to the diaphram (the orange flexible piece) from heat over the years. Just pry it with a small screwdriver and it should come off.
