I am looking at the new FPR and the existing one. They both seem similar. I can't see any type of ring... nor where it would go to hold the FPR in place.

Thanks for any help

like the 6, it's held on with two bolts with an O ring sealing it to the rail

No bolts.... mine looks like it presses into the rail.

Thanks for trying to help!!

I too see it in the parts manual, however mine does not have such a ring. Maybe that is why I am having problems? lol

the regulator is held into the flared end with a circlip.. you can't see the clip because it's hidden by the flared end of the fuel rail

you'll see it when you remove the fuel rail from the intake manifold

ahhhhh....

I thought I was seeing something in the slots. I wasn't planning on pulling the rail... but if I have too I will.

Thanks

As it turns out.....

The Clip can be popped out through slots that are part of the socket on the rail, that the FPR pushes into. Not real easy, but possible with a bit of patience. So at least....its in!
