Default Easy way to remove factory fuel lines???

I'm doing my fuel system and I wanted to see if there's an easy way to remove the factory fuel lines. I removed the 3 clips under the car and unhooked the lines from the fuel pump/tank, and I removed the lines from the fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator. What else is left?

Thanks

I cut the feed. The return came out easily. Now I'm going to run my new lines. What a pain in the *** working with jackstands under a car in this cold weather

Ya it's in the 30's. I guess the real answer should have been. "no there's no easy way to take off stock fuel lines" lol. I ran my new lines now some other day I'll finish it up it took about 4 hours for me to do it all.

Just make sure you clean all the lines really good. Really easy to get a clogged injector after new lines. Don't ask how I know. ;0

so I assumed its safe to prime the fuel pump with the feed line disconnected from the fuel and return disconnected from the cell, after that remove and clean your filter element?
I am getting ready to install 1/2 aluminum hard lines in mines feed and return, plus new brake lines, buts its too damn cold.

after preparing ss lines with an fittings, before installing them i flush them with gas and hit them with the air hose. and we always prim the fuel pump with the fuel rail side disconnected for one final rinse. same with brake lines...after making them, just spray them down with some brake cleaner and hit them with air before installing.
