blue spring installation intructions?
I'm not completely mechanically inept, but close. I ordered the blue spring replacement for the fuel pressure regulator from partsguyed. Is there a writeup on how to do this installation that I can follow?

I have a background as a full time mechanic for years in my younger days, Earl Hayes Chevrolet in Oak Cliff part of Dallas but the point I want to make is yes it is a very easy install but anyone can make a mistake and thats what I did I managed to drop a small piece that installs behind the spring and didn't notice it well when started it and didn't have good fuel pressure. I went back checking and luckely found the part reinstalled and all is well, do what High Binder suggests and all will be good.

Here is the part #3C3Z-9T517-AG.
These instructions were posted by npccpartsman on how to install the blue spring:
Remove the air cleaner, loosen the CAC tube and roll it out of the way. Loosen and remove the fuel line on the fuel pressure regulator cover. Loosen the 4 t27 torx screws on the same cover carefully maintaining pressure on the cover because the spring WILL push it off. The cover will come off along with the spring and poppet valve. Slide the spring out of the poppet valve, put the BB in where the spring came out and slide the spring back in behind the BB. Reinstall the cover.
It's MUCH easier to do with the upper radiator hose removed

Thanks to all. You never mention REMOVING a BB. Is this part in the cover? Or does the new kit only have the BB? Told you I was near inept.

Forget the BB, don't waste your time with the BB mod. Just get the blue spring kit and be done with it.
