Default schrader valve on fuel rail

Hey guys. When I changed my intake manifold I think I may have damaged the schrader valve on the fuel rail. It is leaking out fuel, sometimes pretty bad, sometimes just barely. At first I thought it was just because I lost the cap, but I got another cap and it still leaks out. How do I go about changing the schrader? What type of tool will I need and where do I find one? what size is it..etc???
thanks guys

Go to your local auto parts store and see if you can find a tire valve stem remover tool. Its usually with the fix-a-flat and whatnot. This tool should remove the schrader valve from the fuel rail and you can replace it with one for a tire valve stem.

make sure you relieve the pressure in the rail before yanking the valve out... yank the fuel pump relay and fire it up.

there is no pressure because it leaks out everywhere... hence the problem
