Buy pipes and flaring tool, much easier to make them yourself. Let the fuel run as low as possible, remove the fuel tank and let it sit on the exhaust. This will give you enough room to get in to unclip the old pipes and refit the new ones.

From experience always advisable to have some spare clips as they go brittle with age !

Hi Gordon. Here's my general guide, based on a saloon but much of it applies to the tourer as well.

If you decide to do it without removing the fuel tanks, remember that if you lift the rear seat then you have a hatch that gives access to the fuel pump. Use that access to route the brake pipe and clip it in.
