Default Changing the FPR on a stock pump help...

maybe im having a brain fart or something but I cant figure out how to get this old fuel pressure regulator off of the bucket assembly. I see the clips and undid them but there is a silver rod that goes through it and I cant get that out. Any ideas?

The reason i'm replacing it is because when I start the car up I have 60psi at idle and as soon as I shut it off the fuel pressure drops to zero. I usually have to prime the pump twice to get it to start and it sounds ghetto so im fixing it. I believe that it is the FPR because of threads that I have read.

It's just the little bulb with the nipple on it. Take out the snap ring and it sould come out.

Yeah I know what it is but the problem is that there is a metal rod that starts at the top of the assembly and goes all the way down the assembly and it goes right through the regulator. I cant get it to loosen up and come out. This freakin sux. I might just sump the tank and run an external FP and Regulator........

the black plastic part stays in the module.
to remove the regulator rotate the spring clip to the side and push it off.
