This is kinda painful to watch all the wrenching. Why not use a drill NOT IMPACT DRIVER and set the clutch to 10 or 11 then once it starts clacking then ratchet it to torque it down.
Satisfying for an upgrade that actually works well without breaking the bank. Nice, rainy-day project, too. Had to smile... I can't shop HD for just one thing, too ;-)
I did this on my 2020 and my bolts fought me too. I think they put thread locker or something on them from the factory. I grabbed some matching paint and rattle-canned the bracket body color and installed. I just had my wife hold the tailgate up while I swapped. A really nice upgrade. I think they should all come from the factory with this damper. So much better than those Dee-zee aftermarket dampers.

That's they way it works Those easy jobs try to go bad on you good save 🙏👊🇺🇸💪🚗🔧
That's a great upgrade. I can tell Ford cheaped out on the tail gate handle/latch as well which also stick and break sometimes.
Call me old school. I ve been driving Pickups since 1978. Im fine with the old fashion tailgate. However, Thanks as always for the video

For the life of me I can't understand why you did not use a cordless drill to complete this job!!
This is one of the first mods I did when I bought my truck. Well worth it, especially since I have the heavy tailgate step.
