1- Wheel and arch liner off
2- Pliers are needed to get the awful clips off (those squeezy ones) no need to take the side skirts off
3- Look up in wheel arch, then remove nut that holds funny grey thing (fuel pump housing or something) onto arch
4- Remove black what appears to be breather hose from the white tube (at 3 o clock on the wheel arch, by the side skirt)
5- Pull fuel elbow off, catch fuel in container (lower and raise car with jack to get as much as possible out!)
6- My next bit of advice would be to throw the silly clips away and use jubillee clips to refit the new pipe, and id get a little one for the breather hose we took off in step 4
7- Slacken 2 bolts on passenger side (one near the rear wheel, one near the exhaust) and remove two bolts on drivers side (one in the middle of the car, one near the jacking up point, when you look underneath the car youll see the frame that holds the fuel tank up) Contrary to the haynes manual, i didnt remove the handbrake cable or exhaust to do this
8- smear fairy liquid around inside of both ends of new pipe, then fit to fuel tank, wobble funny grey thing to get it off the bolt, then line it up, so you can fit it onto the new elbow while turning the elbow (this part will be obvious when your doing it!)
9- apply new(or old) clips to pipe and put it all back together!
10- Enjoy car with no fuel leaks(hopefully!)
