Of course this is only the cartridge, you have to transfer the spring, and the top mount of the existing strut. You need a pair of coil spring compressor to do the job. The basic procedure to replace a strut is:
Remove the top nuts that secure the strut assembly to the frame mount inside the engine compartment. Do not remove the center nut.
Mark the lower strut mounting location on the hub for installation reference. The alignment will be close if the new strut is installed in the same position.
Remove the bolts that hold the strut assembly to the hub.
Remove the strut assembly from the vehicle.
Mark the top mount for installation reference. Using a side mounted spring compressor, compress the spring and remove the top nut and retaining washer. Pull strut assembly out from the bottom of spring.
Slide the new strut assembly up into the spring and reposition the top mount onto the spring in the same position that it was removed. Install the retaining washer and top nut.
Tighten the top nut to the manufacturer's specifications and carefully remove the spring compressor.
Place the strut assembly back into the vehicle.

Its on top of the fuel tank, to get to it you must remove the back seat bottom then remove the access panel.

Sorry , its probably inside the gas tank. If you are lucky , there will be an access panel under the back seat , or in the trunk. If not , the fuel tank has to be removed.

there is a removable panel on the back of the headlight when you remove this you should see the wires that go to the bulb around these is a metal clip when you unhook this metal clip pull the wires back away from the headlight and the bulb should be on the end of the wires take it of and put the new one on and do the reverse of everything to put back

Here is a detailed article on replacing trunk struts. Hope this help!

I hope help you with this, remember rated this help.

Good luck.

The solution is to pull out the back seat to get into the trunk. There are two bolts holding the bottom part of back seat (bolts located between bottom and top sections). Then pull out bottom section of back seat and you see the hinge for the top section, remove the bolts and then you can lift up and access the trunk. It's not that hard.

the old elantras and accents have problems with the struts siezing up; especially if the vehicle has been lifted/jacked recently.

i see at least a few elantras/accents at the shop every week with locked up struts, its very very common. i am a hyundai tech, so trust me i see this a lot.
to replace the struts you will need a spring compressor and common hand tools.

check the front struts as well, they all tend to go around the same time, push down on one corner of the car at a time, if the car does not come back up after you release pressure, the strut has siezed/locked up.

DO NOT attempt to replace the struts if you dont have a spring compressor...that spring can really mess your day up if you dont properly compress it before removing that top nut.

unless you have a spring compressor dont try it
