Need help removing s13 shocks

[mattscar]

Do I have to bleed the brakes? I am sort of confused about it, I'll take some pics tommorow when I go home.

Why would you have to bleed the brakes if you're removing the shocks? They're independent systems.

[nismofly]

if youre thinking the fronts, you just pop the clip off and pull the line out of the bracket, simple as that

lol sorry I thought it was the same as the corolla.

but are the stock shocks blue?

[(Yoshi)]

if they are stock they are black, and they are struts so the shocks are inside the springs...

Oh.

btw I cant find the retaining clip holding the brake line

sorry for my noobie question btw.

It's only on the fronts. You'll see the brake line clipped to a bracket on the strut. You just use neddle nose or a flat tip screw driver to pop that little clip off.

Then make sure you re-attach it to your new ones.
