how do you pull out the 2 rear brake lines from your engine bay without removing or loosening anything. for stock ex auto 98 sedan, i cut lines and tried each way. the rears from the proportioning valve

yes there off the propvalve.. the cables are loose and i did the metal clip undernearth too they are cut underneath right where the bend up starts, so not much space to pull them out from down there but i tried that to. i felt like that had to be a common problem

the reason you can't pull them out is because the front subframe is in the way! Yes I've done it before and it requires the subframe to be loosened and lowered slightly to allow the brake lines at the bend you showed, to come up into the engine bay. Honda put the brake lines onto the chassis/body before any components were installed. Lots of fun! The only way around this is to pre-bend your own lines, but if you want it like the factory, lower the subframe.

so how do you pull the old line out without loosening the subframe? and does loosening the subframe require a new alignment?
i refuse to believe you have to drop the subframe to yank out old brake line... but they arent coming out i fuckn tugged so hard i bent them.. about to just leave them in there!
Yeah isn't that what I already said in the messages above?!! hmm.. guess some people just don't like the truth for an answer.. keep asking and thinking they will get an answer they want to believe? I know.. let's not believe in gravity, refuse to listen to others that it exists, jump off a building, find out gravity is REAL and everyone was telling the truth.. lol.
