Rear Steel Brake Line Replacement

Hello Everyone.

Does anybody have any tips on how to make a rear break line replacement job less painful? Mine have rusted through.
The right rear really takes the scenic route from the front of the car.

2002 R50

Thanks.

Ernesto

Thanks for the tip. This was exactly what I was looking for.

Doesn't look as bad as doing a clutch. Close though.
