Default Replacing late model fuel injection fuel lines

I need to replace some rusted FI lines and some nylon lines and fittings that broke when I tried to take them apart. Some of the lines are nylon and some are steel.

I think I can get the replacement fittings and nylon line, but if someone knows of a good discount source please advise where. I would also like some guidance on how the fittings are supposed to be installed onto the nylon lines. Do I just use brute force to push the lines onto the fittings? Should I heat the lines first? If so, how and how much? Any other tips/tricks?

I think the metal lines will be harder to replicate. They appear to be made of normal steel but have a ridge on them about 3/4" from the end. I can bend steel line, but I have no way to replicate the ridge. I might be able to convert these to rubber or nylon lines, but I will need to have the "ridged ends" to attach them to fittings that are on the vehicle. Any idea where to get the ends or is there a reasonably priced tool that I can buy to form the ridges?

Any websites with info on this?
