Cam follower: what method did you use to relieve fuel pressure?

[yfzcentral]

Been seeing two methods:
1. Removing fusses (http://freepdfhosting.com/8791e81dac.pdf)
2. Unscrewing the black valve

Thanks all.

Pull the fuse (#28 i think) than let it run till it dies.

Never have,
I unscrew the rail line slowly. When fuel starts to bleed or piss out I walk away and have a beer or
Sandwich.

There's also a pressure test port on the new pumps, you can take a pen and push in the valve to bleed the low side pressure.
Letting the car sit for a few hours lets the car cool down and most of the fuel pressure will relieve by itself

this...was quick and easy. I have a later model fuel pump with the valve, but this took no time at all.

This.

Yep, fuse here also. I think #28 is right. Third up from the bottom left. Pull fuse, let car run til it dies.

pull fuse out and use the back valve, don't let the pump run dry.

don't let the pump run dry.

This most of all, you don't wanna screw up your pump

[jimrobbington]

Fuck it, any excuse to force myself into an upgraded hpfp. Lol.

^^ This. I have never pulled the fuse. I just put paper towels around the bleed screw, and let it open slowly. It takes about 2-3 minutes. I also don't unplug the battery. If you do not unplug the battery, just make sure to not open your driver's side door as the pump will start back up.
