Paulfc Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hi, Can I remove the tailgate hinge assembly by simply removing the bracket bolts and lift it out? Will I encounter potential issues with the spring being under tension and are there any other issues I should be aware of? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Not done one but looking at the assy. I would start by support the hatch high enough to reduce any torsion on the spring Maybe undo the clamp then the hinge Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Do you need to disconnect the curtesy light switch wiring attached to the passenger side hinge? Maybe not? You'll have to take off the black cowl (one screw either side) to get at it. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
