Removing tailgate

[Golddigga]

Hi,

It looks like to do a proper job on my rust I will need to remove the tailgate. Can somebody who has done this tell me how easy it is please?

Cheers

It's easy but heavy :)

I found that the easiest way was to pull the roof lining down at the back, this reveals 4 bolts that hold the hinges to the body, remove these and lift the hatch off.

There is an electrical connector to unplug and the rear washer pipe needs pulling off - all fairly obvious once you take a look at it.
