Are the same nuts used on all GMs from '92 up? Or will a 97 LeSabre have different sizes? I'm assuming they are the same.
In another thread of mine, I've recommended this write up be placed in the tech section as it's just what I need right now, and it's well done too.
I don't know what size 92-99 has, I've never done more than an oil change on one. Just make sure you're using the correct size wrench so you don't round off the fittings.
Bye Bye: RIP sandrock

You can also de-pressurize the fuel system by pulling the fuel pump fuse and trying to start the car for 5 - 10 seconds. This takes all the pressure off the fuel rail before you stick a screwdriver in the schrader valve and you won't have gas spraying everywhere.
