as i said in my post 20% discountyou only need a small straght screwdriver and some one to support the tailgate while you change them just put the screwdriver in the spring clip to release the pressure and hit the strut with your hand knocking it away from the body , replace one strut at a time one strut is NOT strong enought to support the tailgate so be careful .
