RE: [DML] Houston's Door Struts

["John Hervey" <john@xxxx>]

Christian,
I have had no reports on the factory original door struts not being able to
install them easily. To twist something with out messing it up, attach one
end and use the rubber strap tools that came out two or three years ago to
twist with. They come in several sizes and I'm sure they would break the
head loose. I use then to torque fuel pump check valves and other things
like that when you need to get a grip but can't put it in a vise.

You should be able to rotate the rod itself in the cylinder.

I recieved Houston's door struts today. It's the craziest thing... both ends
face the same way. I was finally able to partially unscrew the shaft end of
one strut so that it would fit. I can't get the other one to unscrew though.
