Default screw driver, rag, and pliers is about it

pull the engine cover off with the screw driver, use pliers to remove clip holding fpr in, pull the hose off the fpr and remove fpr.

Let the car cool down first. Other than that it's a piece of cake.

Default I'm a little confused? Where am I supposed to put the FPR in relation to the stock 4 bar?

I circled the hard line coming from the back of the stock 4 bar. The stock 4 bar is actually mounted on the engine, am I supposed to use new hoses?

So i guess I have to remove the 4 bar with the long hard line, that runs over to the passenger side?

Default there's a little clip that holds the fpr to the hard line...

just pull it out and the fpr will come off the hard line. The FPR and hard line are two seperate things.

I see, thanks. Do I need to re-use the screen filter inside?
