The fuel line is a different story.
The fuel line looks like a plastic shrink tubing of sorts. I had to pry it off with a pointed awl. The real difficulty was in reconnecting the new pump and the old line. I just couldn't get it to work properly so I cut the whole thing off and replaced it with a piece of high pressure fuel line. I used a couple of plastic connectors that i had around to secure it to the flange at both the top of the module and at the top of the pump. The only issue i could see was that the fuel line was thicker in it's sidewall than the thin plastic tube that was originally used. With the design of this system there is no return line to the tank from the motor as the fuel pressure regulator is on the top of the module.(with the 58 printed on it in your picture) So it looks like the excess fuel is redirected from the fuel pressure regulator back into the tank using an outlet that surrounds the inlet flange on the bottom of the regulator. I know it is hard to picture but i will try to do a diagram to illustrate.
Anyway you can't block the fuel return with the thicker fuel line, so you have to be careful to leave some extra space when you reclamp the top of the hose to the regulator side of the hookup.(Hope this makes sense)
Other than that it is the staright reverse of what you did to take the plastic assembly and filter apart.
I will see if I can get Coreldraw or something working to illustrate better tonight.
