I disconnected fuel lines from the gas tank and front of engine. I also removed evap tank. Rusty lines broke into several pieces when taking loose. I cut the flexible fuel lines under truck that are close to the front of truck with side cutters. There is a fuel line [pita] bracket attached to the upper bolt on the bellhousing. There is a 13 mm nut holding it onto the bolt. I dropped front of 4wd driveshaft. I loosened heat shield. I raised left side of body about 2". I had to loosen the abs to install middle section of 3 piece brake line.
