i recently just fixed my hatch but in the process i broke the two shocks that hold it up i was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the old shocks so that i can get some new ones in there

THanks

with the hatch open and supported, ( a length of 2x4 or a buddy for instance) there is a half circle shaped pin holding the ball socket portion that is attached to the body. pull it out and the ball socket should pop out freely. on the hatch, there are two bolts, i want to say around 10mm. undo those and your on your way to replacing them.
