Are Tools Needed to Install Thule Dual Force Strut on Cargo Box

Question:

Replacement Dual Force Strut for Thule Roof Box. I purchased the above from you but can you recommend an allen wrench size to use- seems like a special size.

The Thule Replacement Dual Force Strut, part # TH14936 is actually just snapped on to a ball socket on the top lid and a ball socket on the bottom of the cargo box. The holes on the end of each lever of the strut will just snap over the ball on the mounting brackets. It does require some pressure to remove and install. Sounds like you are trying to remove the ball? You shouldn't need a wrench.

I attached an install video that shows a very similar hinge being installed and replaced.
