I'm new to mechanics and mk1 golfs so maybe people have some advice on the best way to tackle this job
I've tried taking off the offending tube as best I can but I can't work out the best way of getting it off the actual fuel pump. hear are some pictures of what I'm dealing with.

The rubber pipe connected to the fuel pump where i drew the red circle not sure how to get the end off the fuel pump, do you have to drop the hole thing ?
Also where would you source a replacement fuel line for the one that is perished ? Been looking here but not sure which one will fit and I cant afford to purchase the wrong part.

Its difficult to tell from the pics if it is rust or dirt but looking at what I can see, from my experiences, your going to need a bit of patience to get the bits apart without fatally wounding them!
The fuel pump cradle may well be rotten. You should be able to hold the union on the accumulator with a spanner while turning the nut. Plenty of GT85 or WD40 is what you'll be wanting!
