I took the Shraeder valve out of the end of the fuel rail and ran my own line from there. I believe the thread size is -4 AN.

Are you trying to hook up a mechanical gauge or an electrical? Don't think I have any pics (probably the only thing I don't have a pic of) but if you do a search you will find some, I remember seeing them not too long ago.

Cajun is correct on the valve, pull it. There is a -4 AN Femail to 1/8 NPT where you would use a double female 1/8 npt coupler found @ home depot. You can get the line through summit.

That's easy, you can use a very small flat head screwdriver and get it started. You can then unscrew it the rest of the way with your fingers. Option B, go buy a Schrader valve remover. About $2 at any bike shop.

Don't forget to let the pressure out of the fuel lines by pushing the valve in before you remove it.
