Replacement of the rear tailgate pistons of the Peugeot 308 MK2.

Model: Peugeot 308 T9, MK 2 - Years 2013-2021
Part: Hydraulic pistons

Let's see how to proceed to replace the hydraulic pistons of the rear hatch of the Peugeot 308, which are no longer able to keep it open. We open the hatch and block it in the open position with a stick, to prevent accidental falls, and with a screwdriver we remove the metal clamp that serves as a safety lock, present on the four heads of the pistons. We remove the heads from the ball joints and remove the old pistons, then clean the joints with a detergent spray. We take the new pistons and insert them onto the ball joints, remove the stick and verify the correct assembly.
