Cheers mate

Thanks Peter, this helps a lot

Thanks a great help 👍 😀

I have got to replace my gas struts in my caravan and I was truely stumped, but this has given me an 'Ah!' moment. Thanks for the video.

If you look at this page www.caravansplus.com.au/pdf/repair_heki_2.pdf it shows that you dont need to remove the bottom pin because the piston rod has a right hand thread that connects it to the joint lug and simply screws out. You will still have to remove the top pin. Copied struts may differ from manufacturers originals and you may have to remove the bottom pin.

Thanks Peter you have saved me time heart ache & money. New gas shocks on order. A top video.

Thanks Peter just the info I need to replace mine 👍🏼

Thanks for this. For the bottom pin, I had to drill behind the pin and push it out on one side. It was too far in to prise out, and very, very tight. All done and working. For Australian viewer, you can get the struts reasonably priced from The Gas Strut Guys

De bodem pin hoeft niet los kwam ik vandaag achter. Hier zit schroefdraad op. Hiermee blijft het oog zitten en schroef je de nieuwe gasveer er zo weer in. Net weer iets makkelijker.

Great vid thanks biggest problem was the one bottom pin rest really easy

Thanks, just ordered 2 new ones, after i saw this video. I have no doubt that i can replace them easy now.. Really helpfull

Thanks for making this video! Very instructive! I now know what to expect. I already managed to prise off the white plastic cap without any damage by means of a sharp thin knife! The metal cap will follow after I received the spare parts. By the way: How much did you pay on eBay? I myself bought them for 49 euros the pair in Holland.

Thanks so much Peter for sharing ..... I too was wondering how the hell they came off . Greetings from Rockhampton Queensland Australia ... Cheers Murray ...

good on yer sport, just found out my gas struts are shot on a motorhome I've recently bought. I needed this video to show me how you get the little blighters off. I've just got to break the bank to buy some now.

Thanks Peter for the video. I'm really struggling to remove the plugs, they should have a small screwdriver recess to enable removal. At least your efforts reassure me that the plugs do need to be removed to do the job. Motto - Nobody said it would be easy!
