Hey guys I'm Putting in new lifters and doing a head swap. But I ran into the problem of depressurizing the fuel lines. I'm working on an 06 Daytona rt 5.7 I don't see any kind of a valve stem or anything like that and I already started tearing the motor down. So I need to know how I'm supposed to depressurize the fuel system. Thanks

C'mon dude...more information if you want help.

Seriously...you didn't say what the actual problem is, what year the car is, what the engine is, or anything else.

Do you think we're mind readers here?

Getting help is at least half your responsibility to communicate clearly...help us if you expect us to help you.

Sorry. I have an 06 rt charger I'm trying to take the fuel rails off but I don't know how to depressurize the fuel system. I know the trick of removing the fuel pump relay and just letting it run out but I already started tearing everything apart so I need to know another way to depressurize the fuel system

Here is the standard procedure per the Factory Service Manual...

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE
1. Remove Fuel Pump relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC). For location of relay, refer to label on underside
of PDC cover.
2. Start and run engine until it stalls.
3. Attempt restarting engine until it will no longer run.
4. Turn ignition key to OFF position.
5. Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
6. One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) may have been stored in PCM memory due to fuel pump relay
removal. The scan tool must be used to erase a DTC.

If you haven't done that first, then the alternative is to remove the rails with the injectors in place and then try to disconnect one injector and contain the pressure bleed. Best bet is to wrap with a heavy towel when you do it to soak up the fuel. It will be messy.

If you are replacing the injectors, you can use a pointed tool to push in the injector ball on one and bleed the pressure that way. However, it will likely destroy that injector.
