Well I am in the process of taking the rear trailing arm off to replace the infamous RTA bushing. 2 problems: the brake line seems to need to be disconnected; the e-brake cable seems to need to be disconnected. Is this needed?

 

you dont have to take off the rear arms unless your going oem bushings back in...cause poly urethane pops right in with a long bolt,2 big washer and a nut :-)fyi

 

I am going with Honda OEM bushings, so does that mean they gotta come out? And I don't have a press, by the way. Advance doesn't loan that tool.

 

Yes, you will need to disconnect the brake lines and cable. Also when you put them off just take the bolts off the TA, especially the compensator arm bolt otherwise it will mess your alignment up.
