It's common for car owners to delay replacing liftgate lift cylinders. While the task is simple and quick, many people opt to pay a hefty fee at a dealership or repair shop, where labor costs can be overpriced for a job that takes just 10 minutes. The good news? You can do it yourself at home with minimal tools and effort—saving both time and money.
Replacing your liftgate lift cylinders is an easy DIY project that doesn’t require advanced mechanical skills. All you need is:
- A 10mm socket ratchet and extension
- A helper or something to hold the liftgate open (like a broom)
- About 10 minutes of your time
We’ll guide you through the process of replacing the liftgate lift cylinders on your Toyota, making it simple and straightforward.
### Why You Should Replace Your Liftgate Lift Cylinders ASAP
Even though a faulty liftgate cylinder won’t damage your car directly, it can pose serious safety and security risks. First, if the cylinder fails, the liftgate could drop suddenly when opened, potentially causing injury. Second, a broken cylinder might make it difficult to close the hatch, leaving your vehicle’s interior vulnerable to theft, moisture, or pests. That’s why it’s important to replace them as soon as possible.
### Why Replace Both Liftgate Lift Cylinders?
While it may seem unnecessary to replace both if only one is damaged, we strongly recommend doing so. Replacing only one can lead to uneven hydraulic pressure, putting extra strain on the new cylinder and shortening its lifespan. By replacing both at once, you ensure balanced support and extend the life of your liftgate system.

### Replacing Your Toyota Liftgate Lift Cylinders: A Step-by-Step Guide
The process for replacing liftgate lift cylinders is similar across all Toyota models. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the liftgate and prop it up securely using a helper or a tall object like a broom.
2. Locate the bolts at the top and bottom of the lift cylinder. These connect the cylinder to the vehicle and the liftgate itself. Remove all bolts carefully.
3. Take out the old lift cylinder.
4. Install the new cylinder in place and secure it with the bolts.
5. Repeat the process for the other side.
That’s it! It’s a simple, quick fix that makes a big difference in the performance and safety of your vehicle.

Wood crushers usually consist of a rotating drum with sharp teeth or blades that grind the wood against a set of fixed or moving surfaces. The size of the output can be adjusted by changing the gap between the crushing elements or by selecting different crushing stages. They may be powered by electric motors, diesel engines, or hydraulic systems, depending on the application and available resources.
