How to Replace Rear Hatch Support Struts 2003-08 Honda Pilot
Created on:
Tools used
Flat Blade Screwdriver
Assistant
1. Removing the Hatch Support Strut
Have an assistant hold the hatch
Pry out the retainer on the hatch with a flat blade screwdriver
Repeat for the lower side
Remove the strut
2. Installing the Hatch Support Strut
Open the retainer on the strut
Insert the strut into place
Press the retainer into the strut
Repeat for the lower side
Lift and support your hatch with a sturdy piece of wood or have a friend help you to hold it because as soon as you release these, the full weight of the hatch is going to want to come down.
We're using a stand jack. You could also use a ladder. To remove these hatch struts, take a small flat bladed screwdriver, slide it in here and undo the lock. It's going to want to come off the ball socket that's on the bottom. Then, we'll go up top, same setup, and lock it using the flat bladed screwdriver. Pull your hatch strut off.
To reinstall it, I like to just open up the lock, make it a little bit easier. Push it on. I need to push the lock up a little bit to get it snapped in. That's locked on. We'll do the top one. Open up the lock. We need to use our screwdriver to just ply it down. Your hatch strut is installed. You can have your friend stop holding it for you now or remove the jack or ladder that's holding it. The hatch stay up on its own with strong new struts.
