I'm having a problem with replacing the hood opening gas struts on my '85 C4. The replacement struts were purchased on-line from a well know Corvette parts supplier. Each end of the first replacement strut fit over their respective studs individually, but I'm not able to slide both ends of the strut over their respective studs at the same time far enough to reattach both spring clips. The I.D. of the holes in the strut are the same dimension as the struts being replaced. Any suggestions how best to proceed will be much appreciated!

Fit conflict was resolved by opening the hood a bit further. Thanks!
