Mark,

I've done this on my 1985 300 TD, although some time ago. I applied a really simple principle when I did the job.....Pay close attention to how you get the old hoses out and then just put the new ones in the same way in reverse. Resist the temptation to just cut and yank the old ones out. If you can get the old ones out whole obviously you can get the new ones in. My recollection is that at least one of the lines goes in from below. One other suggestion is to seal the ends with Saran Wrap or tape to prevent any dirt getting into the lines as you try to stuff them in. Just don't forget to remove it when you attach the ends! It is a pain but not as hard as it seems. Good luck.

Randy
