I didn't read all of this how-to but a few tips that come to mind, and I used whenever I do this:

1) depressurize the fuel system by idling the engine with the fuel pump unplugged (it'll only run for a few seconds), either by the plug under the panel in the boot, or (if you can find it!) the fuse.

2) I wouldn't recommend putting the IC bolts into the fuel pipes as they might have crud on the threads, personally I'd use something like these pushed half way into the pipe ends:
