Rear axle swap basic Qs: Safe lifting and jackstand points while pulling rear axle?

Thanks to all for the advice. Following the suggestions here, the old axle came out without difficulty.

As usual, I’ll admit to being an unconfident/inexperienced mechanic more than an incompetent one. Nevertheless, the input was very helpful.

Quick question about brake lines;

My 7.25” had a junction that was attached to one of then axle tubes via a flexible line. From there, a metal hard line went to each drum.

My new axle is different. It has a 1’ or so flexible line extending from each caliper leading to a fitting secured to a bracket on the axle tube on each side.

Is there a standard fitting that I should use to split the main brake line to attach to this different kind of setup?

I didn’t think to take clear pictures last time I was in the garage but I tried to zoom in on these details from pics I snapped when the new axle arrived and when the old one came out...

Thanks!!
