I can't figure out why my gas engine lid prop rod is stuck. Do i need to turn it or something? Its just frozen halfway extended and i can't move it in or out.

Any ideas?

did it get bent?
or have you compressed it all the way yet? might not be lubed up to slide through the gasket

I'm playing with it now as i type this...I can twist it, but can't push it in. Its not bent. You think I should try lubing it?

twosrus stuff rocks by the way even if this thing is broken.

EDIT: It works!!!!!!! jsut needed some lube, thanks!

Actually, you aren't really supposed to be able to push it in by hand. A lot of people write me with 'this strut is defective!', but they just don't realize how much force #50 really is. If you could push it in easily by hand, it wouldn't hold up your engine lid.

thats the truth i was amaized at the strength of the one for the engine lid so small yet so strong

Eh, not stupid. I would have answered earlier, but I didn't realize what was going on. I thought you had it on the car and it was stuck halfway out.
