ABS Relay Replacement Procedure

So I've ordered new relays for my ABS.

As there is a brake line directly above the box containing the relays, is there a trick to accessing the relays?

Or is it really necessary to remove the line and bleed the ABS?

Doesn't look like you should have to remove anything other than the cover.

Thanks, but I've already looked at the FSM.

Now go look at the ABS in your FD, and you will see that the cover is conveniently located directly beneath a brake line.

I just went out to my car, the cover popped off easily and I had full access to remove the relays without doing anything with the brake line. The cover had to be brought out sideways but no biggie.

My ABS is bone stock and this is on a '94 US R2. A RHD car might be different.

Thanks Dale. It didn't appear there was enough room to do that, but I will give it a shot when the relays arrive.

Much ado about nothing I guess, the cover came off without too much trouble.
