  • Hatch lift support removal

    This must be an easy question but, how the hack to I remove these from the ball joint part???

    I hope there is a way to remove it, because the new ones I bought don't come with ball joint part.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestion that may help.

    They're supposed to just "pop off". Some of them have a little clip that runs around the rounded part of the shock, and if you pry the clip away with a flathead screwdriver or upholstery tool, it'll come right off.

    Screw the bolt back into the hatch, and as close as you can to the the bolt area, smack it with your fist, that should knock her right off.

      I tried, but I guess I can try again, also the plastic on the back - I don't think its it clipped in, you can see I tried to pry that off. Ill try to pop it out somehow.

        Update : thank you superballs63 - your answer gave me confidence to pry the ball joint out with a wrench - it popped out.
