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.

Yes, the nuts are the same size.

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.

It all works and gets the job done.
