Default F45 Question

I need to test one of my front shocks by switching the shocks from one side to the other. Does anyone know how to disconnect the wire from the shock? For the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.

TIA

Follow the wire from the shock to the plug that lies on the frame of the car and disconnect it there. There will be about a 8 inch wire attached to the shock. Took me a little bit to figure it out also....

Thanks for the reply. So, the wire stays connected to the shock then, huh? No wonder I couldn't disconnect it at the shock!

Yep. I practically destroyed the shock the first time I did it trying to disconnect the wire from the shock.

By the way, I have a full set of F45 shocks that I took off my car, if you need any....

Thanks, I will keep that in mind if I find that the shock in question is bad.
