Fuel should not flow threw the regulator and out the vaccume. If it does the regulator is ruptured, and must be replaced. That was the answer I obtained by refourmating thr question. Thank You much for your response "spair tire"

You have to get all the screws out first. Then it just comes out.

2. Remove pressure regulator assembly, gasket and O-ring.
3. Reverse procedure to install, noting the following:
a. Lubricate fuel pressure regulator O-ring with suitable oil before installation.
