IT TOOK ME AROUND 20 MIN FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS.
STEPS:
1. REMOVE TWO SIDE PANELS BY PULLING THEM WITH YOUR HANDS.
2. REMOVE TWO SCREWS ON THE TAILGATE MAIN PANEL, THEN PULL WITH YOUR HANDS.
3. DISCONNECT INTERIOR LIGHTS AND LET THE TAILGATE PANEL HANG.
4. PUT SOMETHING UNDER THE TAILGATE TO SUPPORT WHILE REMOVING THE POWER STRUTS.
5. REMOVE THE POWER STRUT BY PUTTING THE SCREWDRIVER UNDER THE PINS AND PULL WITH YOUR HANDS.
6. UNPLUG THE POWER STRUT, CUT THE CORD ON THE OLD STRUT, CONNECT THE NEW STRUT WIRES TO THE OLD ONES USING ELECTRICAL TAPE, THEN PULL ON THE OLD STRUT WIRE TO GET NEW WIRING INTO PLACE.
7. CONNECT THE NEW STRUT WIRE, CONNECT INTERIOR LIGHTS, PUT BACK PANELS. BINGO!
