   I Can’t Believe How Easy These Were To Install, January 13, 2009

   Do you have a sloted screw driver and a 3 foot non-metallic (read: wood) stick? Then you will have no problem installing these. Forget the sockets, wrenches, torx and inverted torx drivers the Chrysler loves to use.

   Prop up the hood in the middle with the non-metallic stick (just to be sure you don’t arc the battery terminals). Pop out one metal retaining ring on each end of the strut with a slotted screw driver and pull the old supports out. Take note which side the rod protrudes from the housing. The retaining rings on the new struts are already in place and don’t need to be removed. Just align the hole on the strut to the peg on the hood and pop them in. Then give them a little tug to make sure they hold. You won’t be disappointed with the quality either. They hold firm and operate well.

   One word of warning: Make sure you keep the stick propping up the hood in place while you do the second strut. Thought the first one may seem like it is holding up the hood by itself, it doesn’t take much for that hood to drop on the back of your head. Yes, I’ll be feeling that one for a while.

   Removal of old hood struts and installation of Strong Arm struts took less than five minutes with only a screw driver. Strong Arm struts were
   an exact match for the originals.

   I got this for my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, and it fit perfect. You only need a screwdriver to pry out a small clip. My hood only wouldn’t hold up in cold weather, so I only replaced one strut, and that was plenty.
