simplest way is to remove the upper intake and take the fuel rail right out of the lower intake. you'll be fighting with the bolts being upside down and limited working space otherwise.

it is more stuff to take off that way, it isnt hard to do with it all still on you just have a small space to turn the bolts! first thing is to relieve the pressure on the rail, then just take it off and replace it!

i guess it would be easier if its your first time!

It is possible to do it with the upper intake attached. But honestly you will spend the same amount of time pulling that intake, and putting it back on. as you would fighting around wires, and droping tools and fishing them out.

I just replaced my fuel pressure regulator twice in the last month. I tried to replace it the last time with the upper intake in place, but it was just a pain in the ***, plus I can pull my upper intake in about 10-15min and its just much simpler then fighting with everything in the way.
