How to Service and Repair Trunk Lid Lift Support on 2008 Dodge Caliber?

After opening the liftgate, support it with the hinges open to access the shock support. Take a small flat-bladed tool or an equal substitute and release the retaining clips by lifting them just enough to free the retaining studs from the ball joint, as you pull the socket off the ball stud. Now, take out the cylinder used as support.
