Evan,

I hope you had better luck with your fuel lines than I had with one of them.

I just pulled my tank and found it easier to remove the front bolts and drop
the straps.  Then I just rolled my jack forward as the fuel inlet pipe slid
out of the rubber boot.  I don't know if it would have been as easy with the
rear bolts removed.
