Sending units... Who has a better way?

[Major86]

I am dropping both tanks on my 86 square to change sending units. I have tank guards off and spent some time looking tonight to determine how I want to do this. When it comes to disconnecting hard line from soft line on driver side, it doesn't look very easy to do since everything is tucked under cab (total disaster on Chevys part IMO). I was thinking it would be possible to just cut fuel lines at the crossmember before they run over frame to soft lines and then just remove them, flare the ends and run new longer soft lines when reinstalling the tanks. Seems EZPZ but I'm sure someone has tries and may have a better solution. Thanks
