    I think the simple fix is to cut out the damaged part and join in a new bit of pipe??

    I assume you mean the pipe that joins from the fuel rail to the rigid metal pipe near the O/S engine mount.
    If so, just do as I did and buy a repair kit for a few quid and use a few jubilee clips. Jobs a good'un!

    You can't seriously need the engine out to change that?
