The vehicle should be clean and cool.  There should be no unsolved issues with related components prior to installation.  Always diagnose problems before jumping to conclusions.

Thoroughly read the instructions and view the illustrations before beginning.

First things first- take inventory.  Make sure you have all the tools and components that came with the item you purchased.

Last things last- if you need help with the installation, feel free to contact us via e-mail, at help@deyemeracing.com.  Fully explain what you're doing, and your question.  Include pictures if possible.
These instructions are also available online, with images, at www.deyemeracing.com/Project_Mamba/BA1HOODLFT_INSTALL.HTM.

Trunk
Attach end links to springs if not already done.
You will neeed to hold the weight of the trunk lid once the first spring has been disconnected, and continue to support it until the last end of the new springs is connected.
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver under the metal clip on the spring top end link and tilt or rotate it to pull the clip back.
Pull the spring away from the ball joint to release it.
Repeat for the bottom of the same side, and remove the spring, and set it aside.
Place a small dab of grease on both ball joints.
Repeat the removal steps for the other original spring, continuing to support the trunk lid.
For springs with nylon end links, push the links onto the ball joints to snap them into place.
For stainless steel links, remove the safety pins from the links, snap the links onto the ball joints, then replace the pins.
Repeat the install steps for the other side, and you're done!
