Curious to know what people do when it comes to cutting the lines when there is little to no clearance? I am hoping to remove the metal completely and just use rubber.

Here is what i am dealing with

Try a small plumbers pipe cutter. Half dozen rotations should do it.

you can cut with a hack saw
or just grab and twist a few times then tin snips

bolt cutters

cut the rubber off and go inside and pull hard

Looks like that middle photo shows a rubber hose to metal line connection.

correct. I am planning to cut rubber, remove/replace metal tubes then put back with new rubber. Hopefully this weekend

Disconnect fuel line from both ends. Flush with water...plug one end. Fill line with water...cut with dremel.
