Also when D pinning the wired connectors from the strut, I found that removing the purple locking tab for the connect pins is best done by using a pair of very skinny needle nose pliers (the head on mine are about 2 inches long and about a 16th of inch when closed) and inserting them into the tab holes and squeezing then pulling the tab out of the connector. Be careful the purple tab will shoot off your pliers and easily lost. Also make sure your put the new wires from the strut in the correct mating holes and the lock tabs in the correct orientation.
