The struts have a small circular piece of metal (sprung) that holds them in place top and bottom. You need a small/medium size flat blade screwdriver to slip under (don't lever them right out) and release the clip, then they can be taken off. Fitting is exactly the same. If you need any further help PM me.
awesome dude! cheers for the tips. ill PM you if i get stuck when replacing them (sometime soon)
