Default Fuel Line Help

Hello everyone I have a 87 stock 5.0. I developed a leak in one of my fuel lines just above my tierod on my steering rack on the passenger side of the car. I think it is the fuel feed line and not the return. The reason I think it is the feed line is because it starts spraying when I turn on the key but I may be wrong. My question is how hard is it to change out and what tools would I need and do you think i should just replace out both lines im thinking about getting the pre bent feed and return lines from latemodel resto. Ive never done fuel lines before and was wondering what I was getting myself into. Any help would be greatly appriciated thanks.

Not difficult, buy set of fuel-a/c disconnect tools.

Will need to drill head off rivets that hold retaining brackets for fuel line to body. I did all the brake lines on a Fox and encountered them. So a rivet gun will be needed.
