Icon6 need BIG HELP, removing & replacing all brake and fuel lines (5 total) going to rear

hello, (this is for a 95 ls integra 2dr)

i have searched already but there are specific things i need to know that'll help my decision and work. the labor alone is 1.3k or even more so i want to do this myself.

i know that the gas tank needs to be unbolt and stuff but does it need to be completely remove or just lower?

what about the front end. what does or necessary need to be removed? the line looks pretty short after it curves upward from under the car.

and the sensors. will taking out any of the five lines mess with any sensors at all? i can do nuts and bolts but im scared of the electrical stuff.

i hope thats all i need to know for now. ill post more later if something comes up.

thanks!

you have to remove the subframe and gas tank.

I agree with kyden: you would need to drop the front subframe (not easy with the engine still in) and the fuel tank.

Are your brake lines damaged? Or are you trying to do something you don't need to do?

You probably need to pull the drivetrain or just the intake manifold too since the front lines need wiggle room to route through the hole in the fender and maneuver to the abs pump.

when you guys say drop the ___, does that mean to completely remove it out of the way or lower it and have it sit on a jack or floor?
is the subframed welded on?

the lines are damaged by rust. the brake line is leaking pretty bad. lets just say all leaks out from the resurvoir in 1.5 days, about. the fuel line is not leaking but looks really bad. mind as well do the fuel line too while im under there right?

i can only lift up my car up to like 1.5 feet so if the tank or subframe is taller than that then ill have to bring it to a shop.

looking at the line diagram it look like it only goes 1 or 2 feet upward. but i don't know yet.
