Getting the old one off
are below
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.
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.
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 |
It is still pressurised. Scrap metal recycler - never cut, drill, heat or burn it.
