So finally found the Hatch Struts for my P5, figured out how to remove them, but how in the heck do you get the Ball out of the Pivot Point?? I have to get the Ball out of the old part so I can screw it back into the Hatch and then put the new Pivot Points and Struts on it..

Any suggestions?? Its probably something really simple Im sure...
 
All of them I've ever seen work like this:

pull the clip with a pick, or small screwdriver; remove the ball.
