i bought a new set because mine was leaking and i have no idea how to remove the old ones. mini guide anyone ? many thanksga

With a small screwdriver pop the metal clip off the ends, then the strut can be pulled off the ball joint, refitting align the socket over the ball and give it a hefty tap and it should just snap into position, you might find it easier if you prop the tailgate open with a length of wood or get a helper to hold the tailgate
