Replacing hood supports on '97 Maxima

Sep 10, 2004 2 Replies

How do you remove these supports? Do you remove the nuts with the ball attachments or is there a special tool? I've messed with them but I don't want to tear them up if it's not successful. I bought replacements at a local parts store and they have spring clips on them. Thanks for any advice.


I have just replaced mine today. Its really easy. Unbolt the whole thing and reinstall it the way you took it out. Nothing to it. Mine replacement has a little spring clip to prevent the ball joint from popping out.
