@Gary Hanna no problem. How do you remove the old lines? I have not taken a close look at mine to figure it out, but you got me thinking what a disaster it would be if one let loose.
On that website, you can shop around at different dealerships for the best price (They have different pricing). Also, I recommend having it shipped to you vs picking up at a dealership on will-call. For some reason, shipping to my house takes 16-48 hrs, but will-call at a dealership has taken a week or two. Makes no sense but just FYI.

So after all the excitement, it turns out that that part is obsolete/discontinued! Still searching and I think I'm going to try to make one up myself with the help of my buddy who is a mechanic. As far as removing the old lines go there is a tool to use on the quick disconnect fittings. I don't have the tool name or part number as he has the tool. If your lines aren't leaking I wouldn't touch them. I have one line on its way out and is wet with trans oil so it's time but the new line I have for replacement comes with a keeper clip that attaches to the line I can't find. Once I mess with that clip I know that line will start leaking because it's looking nasty. I'm in the northeast and the road salt has done a number on everything underneath.

Another option is to just replace the rubber hose unless the metal lines are in bad shape. In years past when I didn't have the money for new lines I would cut off the crimped on hood with a Dremel, flare the metal line with a parts store rental tool and replace the rubber hose securing it with a hose clamp. It worked great and was super low cost, but did take a bit of time. Just gotta make sure you use transmission/power steering hose.

Apparently fuel line is not the end all be all hose I thought it was, :-(.
