Hey James,

The door strut is probably one of the most easiest things to replace. All 
you need is a needlenose pliers and someone strong enough to hold the door up 
while you switch the struts. Just have the person hold the door up, then 
using the needlenose pliers, just pull out those little clips that hold the 
ball studs to the strut, then just hit the strut in the direction needed to 
get the strut off the door and then position the new strut on top of the ball 
stud and then just hit it on there again and then install those little clips 
and your good to go...about a 5 minute job. Hope that helps.

Later,
Nick
