The hood struts on my E36 need to be replaced and I ordered replacements but I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the bad struts. It looks like there is a pin rather than a bolt that hold it on to the frame and the hood. Any ideas for how to remove this?
How to remove hood strut on 1995 E36

If they're anything like my E38 you remove a retaining clip either end and press them off.
With a little screwdriver, prise the clip on each end off and then it will just pull off the ball socket. Replace them one at a time to make it easier.
Thanks! That worked.
