If you are comfortable working with fuel serving components it’s not a difficult job to do yourself. The two braided lines that join onto the rail itself will eventually fail as well, ask me how I know :-) Don’t work on fuel lines unless you are confident in doing so, never do it with a hot engine - but even if you decide to pay a mechanic to do it they can simply cut the crimps off and fit standard hose to the tails you don’t need a replacement OEM fuel line section.
