Schrader Valve?

[Infernal]

Ok, I'm finsihing up this install tomorrow -- hopefully I'll have some times for you guys when I get back from the track on Wed night. I'm shooting for a 14.0 but if I can see a 13 I'll be happy as hell.

Question is, how the hell do I remove the schrader valve from the fuel rail port for the FPSS? Supposedly there is a special tool designed to do this, but I've just gotten strange looks from the parts stores when I asked about it.

its the same tool youd use to take the thing out of a valve stem in a tire. thats what i used. But i cant find a fitting to screw onto my fuel rail...you wouldnt happen to know what the size of the fitting is and where you got it from?

[Infernal]

Its actually a NOS part. Then again, I'm not sure if it works at all, since I havent tried to attach it yet (its an adapter for the FPSS).

Tell you what, tomorrow after I install it, I'll let you know if it worked and give you the NOS part number for it.

Thanks for the help.

I used a pair of needle-nose plyers... First I just grabbed the little needle thing and pulled... I ended up pulling that needle out, but left the rest of the valve in there. I just grabbed it with the plyers and rotated it. Screwed right out. I think if I had just turned it from the beginning, I would have been able to take it out in one piece.

And thats why i suggested the Valve Stem tool. Needle nose pliers break stuff :D Been there done that...PLUS not everyone has a set of needle nose pliers pointy enough to get in there to turn that thing. The valve stem tool is PERFECT.

Got a valve stem tool but it wasn't long enough to reach the valve.

I ended up ripping the thing out with needle nose plyers and basically destroying it. It's out though.

I had to go to the hardware store and get pipe coupler to go between the adapter and the fpss. The adapter screws onto the rail, the coupler goes between the adapter and the fpss.

I had a b***h of a time with that fpss, the size of fitting you will need is a double female 1/8 inch to a metric size four (-4)same size as the size of the steel braided hose, except it is female obviously. I ended up using a female 4 to a male three, a double female 90 degree 3, to a male 3-female 1/8 inch. it looks really good because it follows the contour of my engine and is not sticking out like a sore thumb. I have part numbers for those fittins if anyone wants them, just e-mail me. The fittings are from aeroquip and earl's performance fittings.

Jeez, all I did was buy a valve stem (for tires) remover tool and just set it in there and unscrewed it.
I guess I was lucky
When you get some new times we all want to see them :D
