On my '84 Wolfsburg, there is a curved-flat spring
clip (not like the flat-half-washer type on the van)
that wraps around the cylinder near the end. There
should be a very slight notch where the spring clip
joins the cylinder. All I did was pry the spring clip
up enough to make it "lock" in this upright position.
Then the end of the cylinder will slip right off the
ball joint on the door. It is a very simple operation
and I changed both of my rear hatch struts in about 5
minutes a couple weeks ago. Hope this helps.............Rodney
