fuel line question

I got a dumb question...Ive never replaced fuel lines on an injected car, but when replacing the wheel bearings tonight on my Mark VII noticed the fuel line is rusted almost beyond recognition...how do you replace steel lines on these cars? they have the clips that snap them together, and I cant remember what the tube ends look like...is there a special crimping tool or some kind of adapter available to plug into the pump lines? I'll do some surfin to see what I can find, but thought this might be the best place to find advice...bending/running new steel aint a problem, just need to know about the ends. thanks in advance.

Why don't you just flare in a piece of line where the bad part is?

fuel line question

its really rusty by the end where the plastic clip on line goes- and several other places...just want to run new steel and reconnect to original if possible...a friend at work told me autozone sold footlong nipples with the flange for the clip on line- will check them out in a bit...need to crawl back under and doublecheck line sizes/length needed to replace both the pressure and return lines...might as well while I'm at it.

Special tool required to unhook the little buggers as I recall.
