Default removing shrader valve for fuel pressure gauge

Real quick question here. I purchased a fuel pressure gauge that mounts to the fuel rail on the shrader valve. I assume the shrader valve needs to be removed. How do I do this and can it be replaced later?
thanks

The Guage might have a pin in the center of the connector to open the valve. It's like the pin in the center of a tire pressure guage. If it doesn't you will need a schrader valve removal tool. These are available at autoparts stores.

Or you can use a small pair of needle nose pliers.

A valve stem removal tool is the same thing.
