How do I remove the plastic cage around fuel/brake lines?
Hey All,
I am helping a friend with his 1999 Accord (v6) and we need to repair leaking brake lines.
We've found where the holes are, but the black plastic cage around the lines is giving us trouble. We are having difficulty getting it off and I want to try to minimize breaking plastic-clips that we may have to get back in place.
Any sugguestions on removing this black plastic cage... the piece I'm talking about is here:

listed as pieces 32 and 33.
Thanks!

Ah, the plastic cage thingie... we go way back.
I broke most of the clips when I did it. In theory when things aren't corroded as all hell, the cage should drop after you remove the metal strips (they are supposed to slide out). In reality, everything is frozen solid.
EDIT: After examining the link you posted, I'm not sure its fastened the same on your model. Disregard anything that makes no sense.

Good question. I need to get mine off, as I blew a brake line earlier this week. I know mine is rusty too. I figure I'll probably have to break it off due to the rust. I figure I'll be replacing all of the lines under it too, since I know if I start flexing the rust on 1 line, the others will start to leak.

I think dealing with that track cover thing was the worst part of the whole job.
