I have to change the fuel line in my car

Is there any tricks around doing this.

Front subby is out dreading taking the rear one out. Is there any way around it

Last time climbed under a car to fix a fuel issue I got petrol in my ear, now that's painful

[Maybe] you can pull the 4 bolts out of the front, drop it down a little and leave the back (rubber) mounts on?
You only need some clearance over the front of it to get the fuel pipe in and out.

Kev I have thought about doing that,

Lack of height could be my issue, it would be easy on a hoist :(

Time to get the overalls on and find some thing soft to lie on and empty the tank first.

I was going to put a 5/16 line in while I am at it
