Not much info in the FSM on this.

-Do I need to lower the gas tank to get access
-Do I need to remove the rear back seat and pull the fuel pump up?

I want to replace those fuel hoses too going from the pipes to the pump.

probably have to drop the tank and remove the back seat. you can probably get away with just the bottom, but I recommend pulling the back out, as well.

Made some progress. Cut out the old lines & brake lines, but regarding those hoses - I think there's 2 they go to the pump, would you re-use the original ones? They don't look cracked, and they are accessible from under the car by 2 fuel inj clamps. I'm sure the full way to repair it is to lower the tank but that seems like a major hassle.

How hard is it to lower?

It is possible to do w/o dropping the tank. I replaced my fuel sending unit/pump thru the rear seat and the hoses by lifting the rear of the car and removing the rear-drivers side wheel.

Thanks bud. I got the pipes out, they were really brittle and flakes were flying into my face. I see now where the hoses feed to, as well there's a short vacuum hose.

Did you buy factory lines? I have to tackle this before winter. Not looking forward to it.

This is a pretty horrible job nitrous. Wear safety glasses or the corrosion bits will fly into your face when you start moving the lines. Here's what I suggest:

1. Use penetrant and heat to loosen the little screws that hold the brackets or the heads will snap off as some did on mine so I need to drill them out now
2. Remove the little hex nut holding the rear LH parking brake cable to the side of the radius rod bracket
3. Once you pull the lines out of the brackets, the brackets may be shot and need to be replaced - i'm going to do makeshift probably.
4. Snip all the lines out with heavy duty shears or wire cutters and catch the gas and brake fluid in a drain pan
5. Remove front stabilizer bar
6. Remove front LH transverse link
7. Remove front LH transverse link gusset

Checked the price on the OEM lines, way too expensive. A roll of 25 Foot of brake line is like 15 bucks, so i'm doing it with a tube bender.
