Default Fuel Filter - rounded nut

Hi guys.

I inherited a rounded nut on my fuel filter. Managed to get a replacement steel line from the wreckers on the cheap but am thinking of what would be the best way to go about this.

The brackets seems to secured using some riveted arrangement.

Any tips for:

a) cleaning the insides of the steel line while i am at it ?
b) fitting the replacement ?
c) Would this better done at a workshop/hoist or is DYI possible ?

DYI is possible but difficulty will depend on if it's the engine or fuel tank line side. For future reference see http://www.rycofilters.com.au/librar...73_fitment.pdf
