I removed a gas strut from a 2000 COBRA Trailer and
the strut body is very tightly jammed into the small

square channel. I tried working it out but it is jammed
so tightly I may have to pound it out. This leads
me to
believe that the pressure of it being wedged into the
channel
has led to it losing pressure. Is this common or do
I have an
undersized square channel? Seems like it should easily
slide
out.
