The fuel damper on my '04 SE is leaking - not a big leak, but enough to smell the gas inside the car every now and then. It looks like a simple fix, let off pressure to rail, unbolt old damper and install new damper + o-ring. However the geniuses at nissan decided to bolt the damn thing from the bottom. Is there an easier way to unbolt it without removing the entire fuel rail system?

really? no takers?

surely I'm not the ONLY poor sap that's had a leaking fuel damper and noticed they bolted the damn thing from the bottom up....

a little off subject but why is there a ford mustang advertisement on this forum? I just don't get it. Sorry wish I had some useful input on this subject but I have the same issue just not worth my time to fix. So many other things on the list that this is practically at the bottom. I like the smell of gas anyway, helps remind me that I don't have a hybrid.

lol. well, I plan on tackling it this week so if I figure it out I'll post with pics

Mine's leaking enough that you can open the hood and see a puddle of gas on the IM below the damper
