Default How to fit OEM fuel pressure reg'?

Hi, am wanting to replace my apparent faulty fuel pressure regulator on my 130ps 1.8 silvertop zetec. Know where it is, but wondering how to de pressurise the system (if required) and get the thing out??
Cheers
Pete

Start the engine, locate the fuel pump fuse and remove it with the engine running...

The engine will use all the fuel in the system de-pressurising it. There maybe a small amount leak out when you undo the reg, but it won't be under pressure!
