The process to change the back door stay starts with removing the bolts and back door stay from the back door when you support it with your hand. Subsequently take out the bolts and door stay from the body. Drilling a 2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.079 - 0.118 in.) hole at the bottom of the back door stay for decompressing high-pressure gas before disposal requires caution as the drilling operation can produce flying chip pieces. Handle the back door stay carefully with caution to the exposed piston rod because the gas material is both odorless and colorless and non-toxic. Avoid damaging the rod through scratching or scoring and block all paint and oil from reaching the rod. Keep the back door stay from having its complete extension during any piston rod and cylinder turning motion. The installation procedure requires attaching the body first using bolts at a torque setting of 17 N.m (170 kgf.cm, 12 ft.lbf) then the door back end with the same bolt torques.

Drill a 2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.079 - 0.118 in.) hole in the bottom of the back door stay to release the high-pressure gas before disposal, taking care to avoid flying chips during drilling.
