Once I had the fuel line cut off, I squared the fuel rail up against the disc on my belt/disc sander and sanded on it until I had removed about .125 inches. Only remove as much material required to remove the rest of the steel line and get a flush surface for welding. Once you get the line out you can sand down the threads on the large diameter of the reducer fitting until it fits inside the fuel rail. While a lathe and a mill would have been nice for these operations, a belt sander will get the job done.
