You will not be able to compress new gas struts by hand.   Band Type Ball Sockets   If your gas struts have a rectangular plastic block at either end with a metal band running around the back -   Slide a flat head screwdriver down the groove along the back of the fitting and under the metal band. Lever the band back and pull on the gas strut to remove it from the car. You do not need to remove the band to do this – just lever it back. Your new gas struts will simply push fit back onto the ball studs.       Pin Type Ball Sockets   If your gas struts have a dome end fitting with a small metal pin -   Unclip the pin from around the base of the fitting and totally remove it from the fitting. Once the pin is removed the gas strut can be pulled off, leaving the ball attached to the vehicle. To fit your new struts remove the pin, push fit them onto the ball stud and replace the pin.
