    rebuilding hood struts

    Is is possible to rebuild the hood gas struts. My local gas strut man says
    it's not but I've a feeling that he's used to dealing with hyundais where it
    doesn't matter much to have the correct date stamped parts.

    I'm hoping that I can grab some new struts and swap out the guts into the
    old bodies. Anybody done this?

    rebuilding hood struts

    The last thing you want to do is to open up a gas strut. No I've never done it, and there is a good reason, gas is in there under high pressure. How much, I really don't know, think of it as something that could possibly hurt you. Make a stencil for your date code.
