Hey everyone,
My 2002 Protege5's hatch lifts died on me and I bought new Strongman Lift Supports. I am clearing out a room and need to install these sooner than later. Anyway, I go to remove the old lift supports and there is no clip to pop the ball joint out. I called the dealership that was close by and they would charge me $40 to install them and I would have to wait next week
. The only advice they gave me was to use a good pair of pliers. I do not want to break anything and do not want to spend money on something I can certainly do myself. Does anyone have any advice on how to remove these things?
