In the trunk of my 760 GLE I carry my most useful accessory, a 3 foot piece of broomhandle for propping up my trunk and hood, as my struts failed some years ago. It's time to update my system to "hands and stick free", my heart can hardly stand the excitement.
The strut end closest to the rear connects to the hinge and is no problem, as it has a small clip to disengage the pin. The other end, however, is hidden in the front corner of the trunk, and I can't see or figure out how it comes apart. There appears to be a pin that I thought was a hex screw, but there is a hole that runs horizontally through the pin. My Haynes book on p.236 shows a configuration that is different to mine.
Thanks in advance,
Gerry
