How to replace the gas springs on a Toyota Aygo AB10

Model: Toyota Aygo MK 1, Ab10 - Years 2005-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to replace the gas springs of the rear hatch on a Toyota Aygo AB10 version: before starting, we need to support the rear hood with a hydraulic jack or similar tool, to prevent the hood from falling on our heads when removing the old springs. Then, we remove the shelf inside the trunk. We unscrew the fixing screw of the side lining of the hood, and unhook the elastic ring that connects the gas support strut to the body of the car; we remove both support struts. We can find the parts, for example, on Amazon with the code B0CRS21WNB at a price of 47.99 euros, with free delivery. We snap the elastic ring located at the top for reassembly and screw the fixing element of the side lining of the hood. We can reassemble the shelf and remove the central support that was used to keep the hatch raised. The job is done.
