*NOTICE – Our heavy-duty struts come in sets of two or four. We sell our gas struts in sets because most manufacturers recommend replacing both struts (if applicable) at the same time. Replacing only one strut can cause unnecessary wear and tear on the other strut, which may lead to failure in the future. Make sure that you are observing safe work practices whenever installing or replacing equipment on your vehicle.*

Before you start: Check out the gas struts already equipped on the vehicle and compare them to the replacement gas springs to make sure that they are the same. Make sure the part numbers of the gas struts match. Do not attempt to use the replacement gas strut if the part numbers do not match. Every gas strut is made for a particular purpose and vehicle. It can be dangerous to use a gas strut for a purpose it was not intended for. Doing so can result in damage to your vehicle or injury to yourself.

It is very advisable that you have another person assist you. They can make sure that the hood, trunk, or lid is held open as you are replacing the gas strut. If your appliance has two gas struts, one gas strut alone will not offer enough strength to hold the appliance open. A person helping you by holding the appliance open can help you avoid injury or damage.

To remove the existing gas spring: With someone to help hold open the appliance, use a small flat tool, such as a screwdriver, to slightly lift the retaining clip. The retaining clip can be found on the top of the ball socket. Do not fully remove the retaining clip, as it could go flying away or cause damage or injury. Only lift it enough to remove the gas strut. Once the retaining clip is lifted, pull the gas strut off the ball stud. Repeat these steps for the other end of the gas strut. Once more, compare this gas strut to the replacement gas strut and ensure that they are the same.

The replacement gas strut can now be connected to the ball studs by applying a slight amount of force by hand at the ball socket. Do not use any tools, especially on the exposed black rod. Make sure that you mount the gas strut in the same orientation as the original gas strut. Connect the rod end to the hood, lid, or trunk first. This will let the tube rotate into position for mounting to the vehicle frame if needed. Once the replacement gas strut has been properly installed, do not remove it unless you are replacing it. Open and close the hood, trunk, or lid to ensure that it is working properly.
