Fuel pressure regulator replacement

I have a 94 Ranger with a 4.0. I smelled fuel while driving it today and there was a puddle on the intake. I pulled the vacuum line off the FPR and it is wet with gasoline. Are there any write ups on replacing this? Looks like I need a tool to seperate the fuel line, I have for the filter but this looks smaller.
Thanks for any comments.

have you looked at the vehicle repair guides at Autozone.com? I worked from that information to replace the FPR on my '92. It sounds like you might have different connectors than on my '92, though. On my '92, the hoses just screwed onto the FPR/fuel rail.

Well, that was easy. Needed a cresent wrench, an 8mm socket, a screwdriver to get the top hose out of the way, and 20 minutes. Whoever wrote the Haynes manual I have obviously never wasn't describing my truck.
