How to replace the rear hatch struts of a Nissan X-Trail T30 version

Model: Nissan X Trail MK 1, T30 - Years 2001-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to replace the rear door pistons of the Nissan X-Trail version T30; it is a very simple and quick operation. We just need to be careful because as soon as we remove the old worn-out pistons, the door practically "falls", so if possible let's get help from someone to support it. With a flat screwdriver we remove the old pistons from their housing, and give a good spray of WD-40 to lubricate the seat, and then a layer of grease on all four spherical heads. We can find the new pistons for example on Amazon with the code B0778PRWKS at a price of 21.78 per pair, free delivery. Just press on the spherical heads with the new pistons, until you hear the "clack" and the operation is successful.
