The low pressure fuel lines can be purchased as new parts. The whole group will be around $100. Be sure to get the crush washers for the return line from the IP, this is still an old school banjo bolt connection.

The trick for the connectors:
The horseshoe needs to be free floating in the center of its travel for the connector to be locked. To unlock the connector, push the back of the horseshoe (imagine the part you would grip if you were to toss a full size one) towards the center. This pushes two internal tabs which release the connector from the port.
