Hi Daydreamer, When I replaced those hoses on my 88' I had to take the deck hatch cover off to be able to wiggle and pull them out and to insert the new ones. I also found that the screws that held the fuel gauge/sensor to the plastic tank had rotted over time leaving a gap tht would open and let fumes and gas leak out. The screws were steel the sockets are brass.
I cleaned the old screw holes with a small dental type pick nd ran a tap to clean the threads. (you can go oversize if you are careful) new screws and a new gasket took care of it along with new hoses while I was in there.

Btw there is room for a rubber gasket under the hatch rim. I am going to use one before I close it all up and caulk it. still getting ready for spring. I'm thinking surgical tubing or similar for the gasket , large O ring.
