In response to your second post:
A common disconnect point is at the flex hose/main trunk hardline junction. This is a small bracket towards the driver side rear. This will leave the flex hose on the rear end. Or you can remove the hose from the brass block on the rear end.

In response to your first question:
You asked how to block a brake line and RB answered it.

As far as tips for the exchange go, if the car is anything like mine, you'll want to have a oxy-acetylene torch handy for softening up the trailing arm fasteners.
I had to physically destroy mine (arms and all) to replace them. It was unbelievable.
