I’ve never done one of these in a pressurized system before. My Haynes manual says I have to take off my gas cap and take my fucking dashboard apart to flip a switch behind the stereo. The guys at McCandless Auto Parts said I should forget the switch and hold a rag over the fuel. Thoughts? ---

the best part is that mike actually kinda sounds like he knows what he is talking about. and there should(but doesnt have to be) a bleeder screw on your fuel rail. i know that my lt-1 has a bleeder screw that you push down adn it releases presure. either way WATCH you eyes. it will squirt out and get in your eyes. and dont worry about that switch. ---
