I spoke too soon. The tailgate gas lifter ball joint was seized solidly and broke/had already broken off the strut casing
After freeing off the ball joint I thought it might weld onto the gas strut...it nearly did, but then the casing melted sufficiently to release the gas...
New gas strut required...
