I've done it a couple of times on my old 205 STDT (same engine but turbo'd) It does look cokmplex but just follow the notes in the workshop manual and it's fairly straight forward.

Also be sure to replace the copper sealing rings if you do disconnect the inlet/outlet fuel pipes.

Otherwise, air may 'leak' into the fuel system and cause running/starting problems.
