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.

Weak trunk struts on a 2003 VW Jetta will not allow the lid to properly stay open. To replace the struts unbolt the mounts holding them to the car and replace them.
You will need a torx adapter (I don't remember the size). After that make sure that the trunk is supported by something. Because it's very heavy, and you do not want it to fall on your head. Then replace the struts one at time. Always change the struts in pairs.
