Removing fuel pressure regulator (FPR)

How does the S4 TII FPR come off the fuel rail? Does the FPR unscrew from the nut, or does the nut unscrew from the rail? Its stuck mad tight and I don't want to break the rail cause its a long hollow aluminum tube and I lift weight. And yes, I sprayed it with WD-40 and checked the FSM. It only says remove vac line, remove fuel line, remove FPR. Doesn't show exactly where to remove it from.

so would that mean you actually have to "tighten" the nut?

Post a pic, my menory fails me. i think the "nut" is part of the regulator and therefore should be removed from the rail. Hold the rail with a vise (or bicep) and put a wrench on the "nut".

I don't know. I pick up a NA fuel rail on the form for 10.00 shipped, look in the for sale thread.
