To replace the bonnet stay struts on an Alfa Romeo 156, lift the bonnet and secure it with a prop. Use a screwdriver to detach the metal clips securing the strut at both ends (or unscrew the retaining pins).

Fit the new strut to the vehicle and secure it with the clips/pins. Repeat the same process for the other strut.

Finally, test the gas struts by opening and closing the bonnet (adjust the pins as necessary).
