to depressurize the fuel line before disconnecting it, I pull the fuel pump fuse (#20 underhood) and start the car and let it die, then their is no more pressure in the line.

Pleasure's all mine. When someone does a good job and shows how-to, no use reinventing the wheel!

Thanks for all the advice out there.* I debated what to do and finally decided to go get the $7 tool at AutoZone and did it that way.* Much easier than taping, vaseline, etc.* If I can do it, anyone can. Trust me on that one.* The FRCs look great - now on to more under the hood mods.* Wife will kill me, but you only travel this way once in your life.* Thanks again guys!!*

Make sure the covers are warm...if they are 42 degrees they can crack...had some of them do this last winter. It doesn't happen in the summer.
