To install the delete plates, you don't need the spring lock compressor. Just leave all the fuel lines connected and pop the fuel rails off of the intake manifold and set them aside. Then you don't have to worry about spilling gas or breaking that weird fuel line connection.
lol that little weird fuel line connector is what the spring lock compressor is for.. it's a very annoying little bracket! I just took it off the fuel rail rather then have to bend it over backwards and out of the way.. yeah, not necessary but a lot easier with it off.
again, a very easy install and it is worth it IMO.. not 10whp but a nice increase.
