For some reason someone replaced part of the small braided fuel line from the tank to the engine. it's part braided and part rubber hose and the replaced part is a larger size with a plastic tee. the tee is capped but the other end of the does not fit well into the braided hose. So the question is how hard is it to replace the braided hose and where do I get some?

Are you referring to the small (like 1/4" OD) hose that goes up over the top of the engine to each injector then back to the tank?

You can buy new direct replacement off ebay or elsewhere. It is easy to replace. getting the old hose off of the injector may require cutting with a razor blade to make it easier. (mine did)

Here is the P/N for what you need. Usually comes in 5meter rolls. Plenty to re-do the whole set. Continental N203535-5

Ok going to get the Continental N203535-5 fuel hose but do I need to replace the tees? If so what do I need and where are they available?

You should be able to salvage the old tee's and re-use them. Again, if you compromise the old hose by cutting into it with a razor blade it will make it much easier to get it off without breaking anything. Just don't cut so deep you start putting cut marks into the fittings ;)
