Open the boot and use a flat-head screwdriver, as shown in the video, to detach the strut from its mount. Do this on both ends of the strut and support the boot with a hydraulic jack.

The operation is very simple and quick. To install the new struts, simply place the 'female' hooks onto the 'male' mounts on the bodywork and push them in with your hands until they click into place.

Nothing easier! Check the proper functioning of the boot by raising and lowering it a couple of times.
