Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines.
NOTE: For fuel pressure release, see RELIEVING FUEL PRESSURE under FUEL SYSTEM in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article, for Fuel Pressure, see CHECKING FUEL PRESSURE in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article.
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Always replace "O" rings and clamps with new ones
Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
Do not over tighten the hose clamps, the hoses could be damaged if the hose clamps are excessively tightened.
