NOTHING Is happending
please someone help im very very frustrated

 

I couldn't do it either, but I just attached it to the hood, closed it and then opened it again.

 

did it work fine?

 

yeah, you're talking about gas hood struts, right? like the redline quicklift?

yeah, even if you can't manually compress it, the hood will do it for you. IF the biscuit don't work, you can just unclip it. Mine were pretty tough to 'prime', and i felt as though i'd probably bend the damn thing before i compressed it, so i gave up and installed them.

 

yeah im talking about the redline ones...
thanks guys!
this makes me feel a lot better lol
next is the greddy air diversion!:-d

 

I never could compress it manually, just secured it on... the air diversion is supercake to install...

 

I'm 5'6" 140, and it took my scrawny butt all my strength to get it cycled. I had to use two pairs of winter gloves, but that's besides the point.

Those first couple flexes of the gas spring are tough as all hell, but when they do, man it's like butter.
