How to safely remove and refit the boot lid or tailgate struts with Lift Support on Volvo S40?

Open the boot lid or tailgate, prise off the retaining clips at each end, then detach the strut from the mounting balljoints. Refitting is a reversal of removal. Note that the struts contain gas under pressure; if new ones have been fitted, the old ones should be disposed of safely and should on no account be incinerated.
