  Q: What precautions should be taken when removing or installing a rear Trunk Lid Lift Support on Cadillac Catera?

  A: Keep the vehicle safe and protected from harm during rear compartment lid hold open device tasks by using an alternative support system. Replace the complete back compartment lid struts when they develop problems and work on one strut at a time. Support the rear compartment lid before lifting the retainer clips of the struts to detach them from the hinge. Follow this procedure to take out the other strut from its location. You should push in the final position of the hood liftgate rod to install it while skipping the bending or damaging steps. Put the new strut onto the hinge and press until it clicks into place before taking away the support from the back compartment door. Follow these instructions to put in the other strut as well. Apply the j-45059 tool to perform this work.
