Issues Replacing FPR - Help! 200



Tony,

Before 1989, the fuel pressure regulators are waaaaay different than the cinchy LH 2.4 regulators that are held in place with two 10mm screws and a hose clamp.

The LH 2.2 regulators mount to the fuel rail with a flare or compression like fitting instead. Then there's a bracket that the regulator is held onto with a giant nut that slides over a threaded portion of the nipple for the return line to the tank:

To the original poster, try the one-hand squeezing approach I mentioned. If that big nut still wont come off, try bonking it lightly to help free up the threads. It's important to use a good wrench or socket here. An adjustable wrench can round stuff off.
