Installed Hood Struts
After awhile the struts holding up our hood loose their ooph. Luckily there are cheap replacements and the job only takes about 10-15 minutes. I got mine from Pep Boys for 25$ each but I hear that Auto Zone carries a set for 13$ each.

Tools: 12mm Wrench
13mm Wrench

Materials: 2 Sachs Gas Charged Lift Supports (SG329001)


Installation:
1.   First it helps to have a friend support the hood, otherwise you have to hold it up with your shoulder.
2. Using the 12mm wrench remove the lower bolt, connecting the strut to the body.
3. Using the 12mm wrench loosen the upper bolt, connecting the strut to the hood, until you can loosen it with your fingers.
4. Holding the strut with one hand remove the upper bolt.
5. Install the short ball joint into the hood and tighten it in with the 13mm wrench.
6. Install the long ball joint into the body and tighten it in with the 13mm wrench.
7. Snap the strut in, one end at a time, the same way the original one was, thicker side connected to the hood.
8. Repeat with the other side.
