engine swap
Hello everyone!
Doing a engine swap on a 2010 GS. Those of you that have dropped the engine out from the bottom, where did you wind up removing the brake lines.....top of the ABS controller?

All you need to do is disconnect the two bolts holding the ABS bracket to the front subframe. Nothing else that's brake related needs to be disconnected.

Maybe I missed something, but I don't see how you can not remove the brake lines one way or another dropping it out the bottom.

The brake lines are flexible. Trust me, I've replaced my engine several times and have never had any issues.
