To replace the trunk struts on your Lexus SC300, first, ensure the trunk is supported to prevent it from falling. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the retaining clips on each end of the struts. Once the clips are removed, detach the old struts from the mounting points and replace them with the new struts, ensuring they are securely attached. Finally, reattach the retaining clips to complete the installation.

To open the trunk of a 1992 Lexus SC300 without a key, you can try accessing the trunk release lever located inside the vehicle, typically near the driver's seat. If that’s not an option, you may need to fold down the rear seats (if applicable) to gain access to the trunk area. Alternatively, using a slim jim or a coat hanger to manipulate the lock mechanism can work, but this may require some skill and can potentially damage the locking system. Always consider contacting a professional locksmith if you're unsure.
You will need a torx adapter (I don't remember the size). After that make sure that the trunk is supported by something. Because it's very heavy, and you do not want it to fall on your head. Then replace the struts one at time. Always change the struts in pairs.

I just replaced the trunk struts on my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have no mechanical experience and i replaced them myself, so its a pretty easy fix. On the top of your trunk there will be a piece held in my two bolts. Just remove these bolts and the piece should come right off. on the side of your trunk should be the other piece. There will be a little spring attached to your ball joint that is easily removed with a flat head screw driver. Once this spring is removed you should be able to pull the par away from the ball joint and wallah. Replace just like you took off.
To fix the trunk lid opener on a 1995 Lexus LS400, first, inspect the trunk release button and the wiring for any visible damage or loose connections. If the button is functional, check the trunk latch mechanism for obstructions or wear; lubricate it if necessary. Additionally, test the trunk release relay and replace it if it's faulty. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, consider consulting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
