My stupid re-silicone questions!

[Coasting]

I dont think I will have a problem re-sealing it (haven't gotten that far yet) I'm still in the process of trying to take all the old silicone out. But this removing of the old silicone around the bottom is exhausting, holy cow I dont know how anyone does this! All 4 sides are done, and 1/3 of the base is done. The corners are the hardest . I dont think I will be able to get the top black brace off, it's really siliconed on there.
