I haven't replaced my door struts (previous owner took care of that
shortly before I bought it), but it shouldn't be any different from
the others. You'll probably need to support the doors somehow. The
strut itself should just pop off on the cylinder end if you pull on
it. The shaft end will have a little retaining clip (hard to see, it's
round and sort of wraps around the bulge at the end of the shaft).
Flip that out of the way and pop that end off, too. A good hard pull,
or a few light taps from a hammer right close to each end should do
the trick.
