Good Morning: I am trying to figure out how to remove and replace the trunk struts on my 01 Concord. I have removed the little plastic 4 prong clip and I had assumed the clip held the strut to the "ball" and the strut would just pop off. Guess I was wrong, it will not come off. What am I doing wrong?. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance

 

Hello,

Be very careful when replacing these. The trunk will fall and is suprisingly heavy. Put a support under the trunk lid to support it before messing with the trunk struts. Once you get the retaining clip off, you may have to lightly tap on the strut end to knock it off. The new one just pops right on. Overall, the job only takes five minutes but getting smacked by a trunk lid can hurt!
Good luck....

Bill
