Removing ball studs from hood struts

Removing ball studs from hood struts
I bought some "Steadylift" hood struts from my local parts store, and it looks like I need to install the old ball studs into the new struts. Problem is, I can't get them out of the old struts without breaking something. Am I missing something? Or is there another brand that just bolts up to the hood and body?

Original hood struts can't be taken apart. The clip referred to above comes with aftermarket (not OE) replacements.
Your new struts should have come with all the mounting hardware needed. I replaced mine and they came with all new ball stud things and everything.
