Installation STEP 1: Please use safety stands under the vehicle or supports when you install gas struts. It is more easier and convenient if someone could help you open the hood or tailgate. STEP 2: Before removing the old gas struts, check the end connection and compare the extended length of your car Old one to make sure they are same. STEP 3: Put a small flat headed screw driver on the end of U shaped band of gas struts and remove it. Turn the screw driver slowly and it will lift up on the band approx. 1/8'', then pull the struts away from car. STEP 4: To install the new gas struts, please follow the same way in reverse. If the U band is not lifted up before installing the new support, it may be damaged. STEP 5: If the ends are not aligned, you may need to rotate the struts. First connect the shaft end of the bracket to the vehicle, and then rotate the entire body of the bracket clockwise to align the ends. Note: If the temperature is lower than minus 20 degrees, the oil density of the gas spring turns high (frozen) and it is difficult to press down.
