I yesterday changed my suspension on my 2000 scooby classic and put some lowering springs on.. fronts were fine but as for the rears it took me the best part of an hour to find how to access the top mounts, then i had another issue,
How do i remove the shock? as the brake line seems to be crimped onto the shock and there isnt enough slack to get the shock out... am i going to have to remove the brake line from the caliper? or am i missing something
Thanks,
Dan

Far less hassle is just to hacksaw a horizontal slot into the side of the tab on the shock, so the brake-hose can slide in and out. Smooth off the sawn surfaces with emery once the shock's off the car, and paint over with Hammerite or whatever to stop any rust, job done.
