There's a little metal clip on the end of the strut, you have to pull that clip back (lever it with a small flat head screw driver) and then pull the strut away from the mounting point.

That's the easy bit, the hard bit is trying to compress the things to get them back on!!

sorry to dig up an old thread (before anyone says it yes, I know I am a whore : )

BUT are these ebay struts any good? Repco are asking 50 bucks each strut, and supercheap didn't have the right ones, so are the ebay cheapo's any good, or will I be better off propping the boot up on a garden stake, like I have been doing since I bought this car?

Cheers, any info appreciated
Russ.

Bought a set of boot struts from e-bay (gasstrutboys) to fit my EB XR8 with bootlip spoiler. Work great!!
Just let them know what they are to go on to and they will fix you up.
I paid approx $30 delivered for the set.
