I would like to know if when changing the gas shocks on my awning should I support the awning end that I am working on before removing the shock

While you are not giving much info on awning type/brand, I would support my Dometic electric awning before removing the shock. If I pull down to lower the awning end, it seems the shock is doing a lot of supporting. I have to say, that I have never replaced one though.
