With the fuel pressure regulator's feed line out of the way, a 10mm socket with extension removed the FPR's two bolts and I set the unit aside. I got ready to unhook the passenger-side fuel rail line by disconnecting the wastegate solenoid harness. When a Crescent wrench wouldn't squeeze into place to hold a fuel rail fitting (which had been added for a Kenne-Bell external fuel pressure gauge), I removed the #2 injector clip and harness for more room to work. I pried a little too hard on that clip with a large screwdriver; it slightly chipped the connector--but didn't break it. A word to the wise: metal always beats plastic, and replacing this harness is pricey. With the harness connector out of the way, I was able to fit the Crescent in and hold the piece so the 5/8-inch end wrench could loosen the line. Once it was out, a zip tie was used around the turbo inlet bell to hold the line away from the fuel rail.
