The Haynes manual for the D2 covers this - IIRC its fairly straightforward, but you need Testbook to bleed the system after changing the pipes and refilling the ACE reservoir.

There was a recall for leaky rear ACE pipes...........you sure your D2 had the recall done - a main stealer should be able to check if you give them the VIN number.
