Front Hood Struts - How to Replace?

Hello All,

Any idea how to remove the small gas struts that hold the front hood open. Mine are getting a little weak and I'd rather do it myself than pay the dealer.

Thanks,

Very easy to do, just pop off the small "C" clip with a small flathead. Then they come right off. Make sure to get the clamps in correctly when putting the new ones in.
