Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to replace the trunk supports on this 2000 Toyota Celica. It's the same process on the Toyota Celicas from 2000 to 2005. When you're buying the supports, make sure you get the one for your vehicle. There are two types: one for a vehicle with the spoiler, and one for the vehicles without a spoiler. The items you'll need include new trunk supports from 1AAuto.com, 10mm and 13mm sockets, a ratchet, a 12mm wrench, and a flat blade screwdriver.
It's also very important to have something to support the trunk with, whether it's a piece of wood or another person to hold it up. You want to make sure it's secure before you start working on the trunk supports.
As you can see, the trunk supports on this aren't very good. It should open up the rest of the way by itself and it doesn't. You want to remove these two 10mm bolts right here. We'll fast-forward as he removes those. A reminder, you'll want to have something supporting the hatch at this step to make sure it doesn't fall down. Using a 12mm wrench you want to remove the ball that the support attaches to. Then the support pulls free.
On the right is the old part; on the left is the new part from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same. The new one also comes with a new ball joint for it to attach onto.
You want to twist in your new ball joint. Tighten it up with a 13mm socket. We'll fast-forward again here. Again, we have the hatch supported and we're putting the 10mm bolts in and tightening them up. Using a flat blade screwdriver, you want to pry out the clip on the back a little bit, push it onto the new ball joint, and push the clip back down. We're going to fast-forward as we do the other side. You can see with your new supports the trunk just opens itself the rest of the way. Good as new.
