How to remove and replace the lift supports for the hood on a Porsche 911? Let's see how to replace them in this video: Lift the hood and secure it. Use a screwdriver or metal lever to detach the clips that hold the lift support at both ends (or unscrew the mounting pins).

Install the new part onto the sheet metal of the front trunk, securing the lift support with the clips/pins.

Proceed in the same manner for the removal/installation of the opposite lift support. Finally, test the gas springs installed earlier.
