schrader valve problem

So i have everything installed now, and im trying to test my noids with the FPSS on and the car running...my wiring is all correct because the noids click when i bypass the FPSS....i had the fuel line in a bottle to see if fuel would come out when the FPSS was bypassed and no fuel came out but the noids were clicking....im not exactly sure how to remove the valve i guess.....there was a twist **** on the the schrader valve so i jsut took it off and screw the an fitting on.....i never used a valve stem remover, i guess im just asking if I forsure have to use a valve stem remover even though the schrader valve was covered by a twist cap and the line screweed on just perfect...???

Get a tire valve stem removal tool (Walmart or any auto parts store $3), insert it in the hole and unthread the valve.

It is just like what is on a car tire or bicycle tire. Practice on a bike tire first if you like.

Be sure there is no fuel pressure and the car is cold when you remove it, put a couple paper towels under it to catch any fuel that drains out when you pull the valve out.

I do it with a tiny screw driver but i would highly recomend a shrader valve remover tool. And YES it has to be out for the kit to work.

autozone has a cheap 4 way tool for $3-4 that will work fine. then you can put the stem back in later if you want. i would not want to **** up that fuel rail.
