Replace all of them in the engine compartment. Take out old line, cut new
line to match, re-install with new hose and clamps. Get the injector
seals, too. No Bentley needed for this! Pay attention to how they are
routed and reuse the plastic heat shield that coversome of the lines.
There are some instructions with the kit IIRC.

If anyone could pass on detailed instructions (w/references to the Bentley)
on
exactly which hoses need replacing and how to do it. I'd appreciate it, I
want
to tackle this project soon... or should I just have my local guy do it
when I
bring her in for a check up? How much would something like this cost?
Thanks,
