In order to replace the Replacement Gas Struts part # RM-200023-50 on your Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening part # RM-4750 you will first need to obtain a pick tool or a simple flathead screwdriver will suffice. Once you have this you will then need to pry the clips off of each end of the strut. This will then allow the socket to break free from the ball and the strut can then be removed. Once you have the old stut removed you can then install the new one by repeating the above.

Unfortunately, we do not have a video of this process but I believe the above will give you a better idea of what all is involved.
