I though I posted it at some point, and I make no guarantee that the whole car might not explode:
Just in front of the two fuel lines you will see what looks like an oversized tire air valve, on the fuel rail and next to the FPR, probably with a black screw on cap. Take off the cap, put a rag over the valve to get the spray, you probably should have goggles on anyway, and press on the valve (I used a flat bladed screwdriver) to release the fuel pressure, you will get about 2 tablespoons of fuel on the rag. Now is a good time to make sure that this valve ("shrader valve") is snugged down, mine and a few other have reported that it can loosen or loose its rubber gasket and leak. Then take an open wrench (its like 14 and 12 mm(?)) and unscrew the two fuel lines (they were different sizes, on my car, so that you don't confuse them on reinstall) and move them out of the way. Reverse to reinstall, not too tight. the fuel will re-pressurize when you start the car, check for leaks.
Good luck.
