Broomstick Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Gas-assist strut replacement, jwr, Tue, 4 Sep 2001 23:10:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Replacing the struts is easy - you just slip off the retaining clip. But you'll want to support the hatch open. I used a broomstick to hold up the hatch, not fully open but close to it. If it's fully open, it's hard to get the struts off. I do one at a time, and always be careful of the hatch - with only one strut, it can come down quickly!
There are a variety of places to get the struts. I think the last time I got a set, I got them from Pep Boys. Much, (much, much) cheaper than the dealer. You can find a set that looks pretty similar. I think they were about $15 each from PB.
