First, Greetings on joining our cyber-home Turtle. Soon as I saw that sign in I figured a diesel

.
Now try doing a search using the search function at the upper right. Someone recently replaced their rear door struts and posted the "how to", although it might have been on a 124 TD. The process should be close enough. I remember it involved pulling the window or interior trim, but not too bad of a DIY project.
You'll find a lot of info here at the "Shop".
