Neither of these parts are difficult to replace--the level of difficulty is not much more than replacing a fuel filter. Just make sure you do it in a well-ventilated place, with no ignition sources. Clean all of the fittings first, so no dirt gets in the fuel system. Also, the fuel line fittings are easier to loosen/tighten if you have the proper metric "flare nut wrenches"--they are like a thick end wrench, and support the fittings a little better. You can do the job with regular metric end wrenches, just be careful not to round off the fittings. Hope this helps, Bob at Pelican Parts
