Automatic boot opening
First thing first you will need a pair of compression spring. I've ordered mine online from www.industrial-springs.com, stock number ST51740.
Alternativelly you can find them by dimensions:
Dh Min. hole 19.05 mm
Dd Max shaft 9.52 mm
L0 Free length 114.30 mm
R Spring constant 11.20 N/mm
S1 Optimal service life at F1 28.58 mm
L1 Length at F1 85.73 mm
F1 Force in N at S1 320.00
Sn Max travel 53.72 mm
Ln Max loaded length 60.58 mm
Fn Max force 602.00 N
Required tools : flat head screw driver, G-clamp, 2xcompression springs, 2 heat shrink tubes (20mm diameter) Step 1: Remove boot gas struts by pulling back the retaining clasp. carefull not to remove it completely, just pull them backwards and slide them towards the end.
