Very easy to fit but prop up the tailgate with a broom handle before you remove even one,they may be shot but there's still enough to hold up the considerable lid weight.Failure to do this will result in the lid crashing down on you when the first ones released.

%26quot;Most%26quot; are simply pressed on or pried off with a big screwdrived.
easy pesy to change...there are a couple of types...on the ends where the ball is there are either a spring clip that goes through both sides or a wire pin that goes through 1 side...just remove these ans they pop off with a big scwerdriver...
NO. Piece of p*ss. You should get it done by the time your coffee cools.
Its very easy to do, however make sure you use something to brace the tailgate open otherwise the tailgate will drop on your head.

Ja.
