Its actually very simple to replace the truck struts on a Mazda all you need is a Phillips head screw driver and a good pair of vice grips. first you will need to remove the retaining clips on the top and bottom of the gas shock. Then simply use the screw driver to pry off the gas shock insert the clips from the old gas shocks then using a plastic hammer pop the new gas shocks onto the mounts on the deck lid and body of the car.
