Driver’s side shock replacement - Hose attachment?

2022 F250 7.3 - I’m doing the shocks and on the driver’s side there is a hose attached to a plastic cap on the end of the threads on the shock. I’m not so much concerned with what this actually is...

My question is: does this little plastic attachment piece screw off or slide off, and can I easily detach and reuse on the new shocks? I’m installing bilstein 4600.

Thanks for the help!

I used a open end wrench that just fit around the threaded stem to pry the plastic clip up from the underside.

If you ever get curious as to what it actually is, it's your front differential vent line.
