Once the system is installed you should not have to be removing it.
If you have to remove it for any reason like I did to install a fuel pressure gauge then what I do is turn on the truck and open the hood. Then I pull the fuel pump relay out and wait until it turns off. After that it has very little fuel left in the line so I just put a rag under the line and remove.
With the valve you will also get a little fuel left in the line even when closed.

I realize this, the system has been installed for 3 years.

sounds like a waste of money to be honest. pull the line from the fuel rail and put the schrader valve back in. when you're done with the bracket just put it back together in reverse order.
