P1000 Tilt bed removal

Has anyone disconnected the strut attached to the rear bed and can offer advice on safely doing so then reattaching?
Also, has any installed a linear actuator in place of the strut to raise and lower the bed?
Thanks

There is a thread on here where a guy with a P1000-3 used an actuator to create a power dump bed. I tried several different actuators on my P1000-5 and couldn't get any to work. See post number 26 on the link below for my solution.

Very cool! One of these days I’ll try to do the same mod!
