I paid $71 with California tax for the kit from a local Cadillac dealer.

You will only need two tools for the job:

1. 1/2" ratchet or nut driver to get the beauty cover off
2. a small screw driver to pull the clamp from the FPR

It is a super easy repair.

Also, there are two types of FPR’s (according to the parts guy at the counter). They asked if I had a plastic fuel rail or the new stainless steel rail.

I had my fuel rail replaced via a recall notice. The plastic rail will eventually leak gas.

ok if there are two types of FPR and it makes a difference when ordering which fuel rail you have, then doe it not stand to reason that when they do the fuel rail recall that they would have to replace the FPR to fix with the correct fuel rail.And would this not answer alot of the problems folks have had after the fuel rail recall fix?
