Subject:      Installing Rear Hatch Struts?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


The rear hatch struts on my '88 Westy are failing and I need to replace
them. Went through the archives on this subject and saw plenty of
discussions on where to buy, which type to get, etc., but nothing on how
exactly to install the replacements. Looking at the existing struts today, I
can't tell how to remove them - I thought they might be just screwed in
place but the actual method seems somewhat more elaborate, and I can't even
tell what tools I need for the job (yes, I mechanically challenged). If
anyone has done this, I appreciate any "how to" tips.


Also, GoWesty sounds like they have good struts...

... but if anyone has had a poor experience with these I'd like to know (I'm
not associated with them).




Cheers,
Chris
'88 Westy, "Rocinante"
