9th injector delete

I am looking to delete 9th injector. When I take line off fuel rail a cap comes off (think soda bottle cap) the delete kit comes with a metal bolt to seal rail off . Any ideas? Does another piece come off rail?

Should look like this. a plug for rail end and bolt and plug for runner.
the line comes off rail and metal reducer comes off.

yes , I saw the kit. Just confused on rail attachment what comes off the rail is a cap with the metal hose going thru it to feed injector . So the threads are on outside of rail end. How would that bolt work?

You need to remove the rail reducer . The only bolt is for the csi plug.

OK so if I understand correctly there is another piece to take off the end of the rail. So that cap comes off the reducer. I remove the cap then remove the reducer?

not sure what cap your referring to. Remove the tube nut and 9th injector.
remove the reducer in fuel rail end. Install plugs
