Yes. Yes you will. Mine was relatively easy, as I didn't have to use a spring compressor to remove the spring. Wont be the case with yours though.

Let's just also say, that I became quite efficient and removing and installing a wheel. Sheeze.

This weekend, while 1GRracer was over, I decided to try and remove the fitting that came in the APR fuel rail. Lucky for me,he was over . It took the both of us to be able to remove the fittings from the rail because the were in so tightly. Unnecessarily.

I don't know what they were thinking, or why the fittings were installed with such force. Needless to say, it messed up one of the fittings and rail pretty badly.

Luckily I was able to tap the rail clean again. If it doesn't hold pressure, then some welding will be in order.


APR strikes again.......

I have no idea why yours is like that, my fuel rail is just fine. I could unscrew the fittings by hand. weird.

I have no idea if it will be ready by MSRH.

Two other people I know have purchased cranks. Clifford is one of them. His is stroker. Then there is the possibility of another. It is becoming more common. Which is a good thing.
