2010 - 2015 Cadillac SRX DETAILED Liftgate Actuator & Hydraulic Fluid Replacement

In this video, I replace a broken liftgate actuator on my 2011 Cadillac SRX. To replace it I had to remove a few panels and the trunk floorboard. This job was not as complicated as I thought it was going to be. The total job took about 3 hrs from start to finish. This guide walks you through each step of the way, so you shouldn't have any issues or surprises. Be patient when removing and reinstalling the side panels.
