Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the hood support strut on a '97 Buick Le Sabre. It's going to be very similar to other styles of GMs, and you're going to need small flat blade screwdriver, a new hood support strut from 1A Auto, and someone to support the hood for you while you're doing the work.
Have someone supporting the hood for you at this point. Okay, I'm using a flat blade screwdriver, and the tabs bending them out of the way so that they'll go over the pin. Once I've got them bent, pull it off and I'm going to do the same thing for the top. And just note that this process is the same for the other side.
I'm going back in with the hood support strut, and it's just going to clip right back into its posts.
