#46645, "removing stock fpr...."




          

well I'm almost done with my set up.
but I need to take out the stock fpr by the rear wheel.first this thing is on there tight!!
but my question is:
once it is removed, what did you guys use to plug in the hole where it sits? just a regular screw?
Thanks.

Where is the FPR on a 97' RS? I have been wondering for a while and haven't had any time to look for myself...

^^ that's what i did, just make sure you use 2 open end wrenches to loosen the bolts on either side. i think they're banjo fittings. if you try and only loosen it w/ one wrench, you'll bend the hardlines.

The correct tool is a Flare Wrench. You use an open end on the filter where the 6 sided ends are and the flare wrench on the banjo bolt. I cannot remember off hand if it's a 12, 13 or 14mm but it's sitting in my tool box at home.

it's 14mm, but i just used a 14mm open end and it came off fine. i just used another wrench on the fitting it connects to and turned them opposite ways... came off fine.

Yeah it'll work, the Flare wrench is designed to not round off the bolt heads which is EXTREMELY easy on automotive hydrolic and fuel systems.
