Got one tailgate strut loose--the other side is stubborn. Through repeating prying, I've stripped most of the socket away, little bits of metal crumbling off. Where's the best pry spot on these for leverage? It seems like they have to turn up a little while being pushed out--but I don't know for certain. Thanks for any tips here. This part seemed like it would be a piece of cake.
