Fitting & removing a gas strut

Prop the lid first - the strut is the only thing holding it up. We recommend replacing struts in pairs.

Step 1

Getting the old one off

The four moves
are below

Four moves to release a gas strut from a ball stud: locate the retaining clip, insert a flathead screwdriver under the clip, gently pry it out to loosen the clip, then pull the strut off the ball stud.

You need a flathead screwdriver. Prise the clip out, away from the ball stud - only loosen it, do not pull it all the way off. Then grab the shaft and pull it clear. Repeat at the other end.

Step 2

Which way up

Cylinder up, rod down. Judge it with the lid closed.

Fat cylinder at the top, chrome rod pointing at the ground.
Keeps the oil over the shaft seal. Rod up and it runs dry.
Replacing a factory strut? Copy how the old one came off.

Step 3

Putting the new one on

Push the shaft end onto the bottom mount first.
Spin the tube to line the top socket up with its ball stud.
Square it up and push hard - it takes a fair bit of force to pop on.
No need to touch the clip. Tug it to check it has latched.
Never twist an end fitting itself - that loosens it.

If it is not right

Reference

Will not stay up	Needs more pressure
Too hard to close	Needs less pressure
Opens too far / not enough	Different length

Throwing the old one out

It is still pressurised. Scrap metal recycler - never cut, drill, heat or burn it.
