A. Firmly snap on large end of gas spring to the hood ball stud
(as shown to the left).
To remove gas springs:
Slide a small at blade screw driver under
the metal c-clip on the back of the
end-tting. Slowly twist and pull the gas
spring from the ball-stud while prying
c-clip (DO NOT REMOVE C-CLIP). Gas
spring will pop o of ball-stud. Press
c-clip back into position and the gas
spring is ready to reinstall.
A. With slide-lock in open position (up), rmly press the open end of the socket onto the ball-stud.
B. Slide the locking mechanism over the ball-stud to secure the gas spring. Be sure that the locking clip slides all the
way over the ball-stud - this will ensure that this end of the gas spring will not free itself.
C. When hood is lowered, SLIDING LOCK MUST BE ON TOP - aiming up or toward windshield or it will not stay in place.
* SLIDING LOCK MUST BE ON TOP WHEN HOOD IS LOWERED
Step 5 - Install gas springs onto lower ball studs.
