How easy is it to install the BDFHYK gas springs?

Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic tools in most cases. BDFHYK provides online instructions and the struts are designed to slide onto existing mounts; however, you should support the hood safely while swapping the parts.

• Good for worn or leaking original gas struts
• Economical two-piece set for both sides of the hood
• Direct-fit design avoids modification or fabrication
