Repacing hatch shocks on my 85 GS
I am trying to replace my rear hatch shocks. I can’t get the bottom part off where the shock is attached to the ball connector. Shouldn’t it pop off?

You will need to un-thread the ball from the C pillar. The new hatch strut will come with a new ball end.
The original ones had the cup swedged onto the ball making it non-removable.

You'll need a thin profile open ended wrench, apologies I don't know the size, something like 10 or 11mm?
or just grind down a cheapo regular wrench.
The replacement ball stud screws should come with the pnew pneumatic lifts.
