Replacement of the fuel lines was harder than it should be. Used a metal disconnect tool to remove the quick-connect fittings of fuel lines (3) at engine compartment. Then removed brackets securing lines in engine compartment and on firewall. The next step I did was un-couple the three fuel lines that run parallel on the underside of the vehicle. Two of three lines were so rusted that they broke free when attempting to pull off the plastic quick-connect fittings. After this, the big plastic triangular fuel-line retainer that mounts inside the lower frame was removed. This part was difficult because the 2-piece retainer (clinched together in frame) did not allow any of the metal lines to be pulled straight out. Also, I had to remove the sway bar so that there was room to slide the plastic retainer out and away. I cut the three lines flush to the plastic retainer (on fire wall side) since they were extremely rusted. For the replacement, I ended up using Nylon lines (equipped with quick-connects) and double bead fuel pipes for the repair. The double bead pipes were secured by the 2-piece plastic retainer of the lower frame.
