Rubber fuel lines on a YJ

[Lights Squared]

How do you replace the rubber fuel lines that go to the fuel tank that come from the steal lines along the frame rail? They seem to go through a rubber holder that is between the body and cross member. I can't/don't know how to remove them from the rubber holder. Does the whole assy. come out as one piece? I tried to losen up the body mounts at the rear of the vehicle, but that did not help. I just don't want to start pulling on them w/o knowing 1st. Thx Tim

Pretty sure you will have to lower the tank.

Yep, tank is out and on the garage floor. I just can't remove the old lines from the rubber holder. Any ideas?

Got it done! I used a screw driver and some WD-40 and got the lines replaced.
