Default removing plastic cage for rear lines?

HAVE to replace rusted brake lines and I've removed the plastic nuts from the cage that holds the brake lines and fuel lines.
I can't really SEE how the cage comes apart so I've tried everything with a screwdriver and got NOwhere.

I've searched google and youtube and here. No good info anywhere.

GOTTA get this damn thing open so I can splice in new lines

2001 4dr 4cyl atx

any Ideas?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent diagram..
like like 36 are the bolts that hold it all up although i see mention of clips and i have no idea where they are or how to undo them.
Will crawl back under there and take those bolts off.

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The clips attach to the lines themselves.
Keep in mind you might want to look ALL of the lines over real good. I only say that, as I was in there on my wife's 00 Accord, to fix a brake line, and replaced all of the lines after the rust fell off and exposed more holes.

Keep in mind the plastic stuff is 17 years old and will probably be brittle. Be prepared to buy some parts that will break as you dismantle it.

Yup. Zip ties become your new friends.

(10) 10mm bolts hold the tray in place. the bolts on the end are pretty impossible to get to without getting under the car (chock your wheels!). if they rusted you can get a bolt extractor kit (local lowes sold it for 20) or drill it out.
