Hey Chris

Have a gander through this thread from the 80 section re the tailgate gas struts - http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13205

You might find it is the best way to proceed with the bonnet struts

Let us know how you get on - Laurence was pleased with the results

Mine does the same but don't spend that much time under it so a stick does the job!! I would try a breaker first.I presume the struts are the same throughout the years,might be cheaper than regassing them. There are breakers on eBay and don't forget the lx470 is the same in most parts too.

As you know, my company does hydraulic type things that include recharging spheres, but we can also charge most types of gas strut if it helps????
