- Be sure to relieve fuel pressure while the ignition switch is off.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery negative terminal.
2. Remove the fuel fill cap.
3. Place a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at the fuel filter, and hold the special banjo bolt with another wrench.
4. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt.




5. Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete turn.

NOTE:
- A fuel pressure gauge can be attached at the 6 mm service bolt hole.
- Always replace the washer between the service bolt and the special banjo bolt whenever the service bolt is loosened.
- Replace all washers whenever the bolts are removed.
