i Watched your You Tube video. I can see how to remove the clips and old struts, but it is unclear how to install the new ones. Do they just pop on, or do you need to remove the clips first?

So you do not have to move the clips at all, you just push the socket on the nipple?

Just push it over the pin and it will lock into place.
