Ended up doing something like that...  and rerouting part of it.  But the 
bottom line is that I an select a whole cline but there is no way to change the 
net on it like one can with shapes.  Seems like a missing feature to me.  

Got Skill?

Kinda easy.

"Cut" the Cline segments that attach to the pins, near the pins wherever
it makes a connection (might simply be at the plane connection). Then it
will essentially be a dangling Cline segment. Connect it all back up to
the original connections, and whalla. The netlist in the board shouldn't
have changed, so your critical net should connect up fine.

I've learned to 'write protect' my .brd files..... :)

Good day.
