hmm, I think Steve (me) will remove it another way, I have thought about removing the wires from the components in the tailgate, and feeding them out of the rubber bungs near the hinges and then removing the tailgate with NO wires in , if worst case , remove connectors so I'm just pulling wires out ,
will have to see what I'm up against but I/we ( Dave and me) will have a go at anything
and if that doesn't work , ill get a really really big hammer and beat the crap out of it.
but saying that , I will have a pal of mine helping me , and hes kinda got OCD so ive no idea how he will tackle it
