If I have to lower (or remove) the tank, what is the best way?
You shouldn't have to drop the tank. The pickup fitting is accessible at the front/top edge of the tank, toward the lateral center of the tank.

I don't know why you want to replace the hard line, but the rear section is very difficult! There is a junction about 10" in front of the rear crossmember separating the two pieces. The rear part snakes up behind the rear bulkhead and through a sleeved hole in the crossmember above the rear suspension. The only way to replace it is to remove the bottom section of the bulkhead.
