Fuel inlet hose removal

Greetings,
My 91 Camry was recently stolen and stripped. Unfortunately I discovered too late, while pumping fuel, that my inlet hose had been sliced to drain the tank. I am now facing the task of replacing this hose.
Can I get some advice and pointers on replacing this. I see I have to unscrew several screws. Can this be done without dropping the tank.
Also is there anything I might want to checkout like priming a fuel pump once I get it installed. I have stated the engine so I believe all that is working fine.

Also, where is the proper placement fpor my jack stands on the rear of the vehicle?

Looking forward to your replies,

thanks!

Zippy

The trolley jack goes under the center part of the "split rear axle beam"
The jack stands are going under the ends of rocker panels [same like for flat tire changes
The flange on the tank can sty in the place ;the old hose is removed by undoing two worm type clamps, and then by cutting it near the ends
No need to drop the tank for this; left rear wheel has to be removed
Make sure that good replacement hose is available

Thanks for the help.
I see one worm clamp where the inlet hose connects to the inlet pipe. This part has already been disconnected. I do not feel any other clamps as I run my hand down the hose. Should there be two clamps connecting the two hoses together?
Also there is a plastic piece that appears to be protecting the hose where it connects to what I believe you are calling the flange. Does this pry off? I did not want to break it and it semed to be on pretty tight.

I can get a used hose from a dismantler. I've had good service in the past from them.

Thanks,

Zippy

The large vent and fill hoses are not clamped to each other, but the pipes are welded to each other with metal strip
I would take a look on the plastic shield on my car because I do not remember how exactly it is attached
the used hose may have been hardened at the ends and can possibly leak afterwards, so make sure you inspected it prior to buying

don't remove any screws on the tank!

the plastic hose protector is the clamp that holds the hose to the tank.
the inlet hose is two halves.
first, seperate the upper portion of the hose from the lower hose that goes onto the tank. It seems like I remember them being clamped together.

once you have the upper hose out of the way, wiggle twist and pull the hell out of the hose that goes onto the tank.

A big thanks to the Dr. and Mr. Elliot.
Once I removed the tire and got the car jacked properly I was able to see the screw on the other clamp.
Since one end of the hose was already cut I went ahead and cut the other end to remove. Those things are on too tight to be yanking away.
I ended up ordering a new hose from the nearest Toyota dealership and will be picking it up tomorrow.
I'm sure ya'll will be hearing from me soon as I take on the brakes next.
