Default Pull the fuel pump fuse, and let it sit for about 35 minutes, then remove the clip and slowwwwly
pull the regulator out of the "holder". Get a cup of water near by and maybe a towel, just in case

Default why pull the fuse? If the car is off and the key is not in the ignition what diff. does it make??
Pulling the fuse does not take the pressure away....

Default What Tory said - pull the fuse and crank it 3-4 times, then the fuel will be out of the line
and you wont blow yourself up (if the engine is hot :-)
