Need to replace the Schrader valve (Think that's what it's called) on the top of the fuel rail (starboard side). What would it involve just to replace that valve & is there anything I should do before or after replacement? Looked it up on the parts list but not sure as to the part number itself.
Thanks
I also need to replace one on my back up rails. Most expensive schrader valve that I have ever priced.

They are sealed with dual O-Rings.
I may have a few lying around.

Good suggestions- just be sure to bleed off the AIR pressure before the fuel pressure, and lubricate the o-rings with oil before installing the replacement schrader valve.
Note: Red Liquid Loctite (ONE SPARING DROP) per screw when reinstalling them.
