<<Just one important thing you forgot to mention. Use the palm of your hand to remove and replace struts; I am referring to the "hitting" Nick mentioned. Do not use any tools, such as a hammer, for you may damage the struts and/or the door itself. >> Good point there Darren, I just meant to tap it with the palm of your hand, it shouldn't much more than that to unhook the strut from the ball studs. Thanks again Darren for clearing that up for everyone. Later, Nick VIN#1852
