today a buddy and i changed the rear engine hatch struts. all 4 of them. i recently bought coach 526 a 99 41' 6" long 2 slide. a rear shorter newell. yea i know i already have a 2002. i know it is a sickness......
i will be slowly detailing, fixing and servicing things on it and then will eventually put it here on the forum for sale. it is beautiful inside and has less than 100k miles on it and 600ish hours on the genny.
but that said, we used a ratchet strap to compress the old ones to take them off and to put on the new ones. the old ones wouldnt hold up the hatch.
here is a picture of using the ratchet strap
