Rear latch removal help
OK, I'm stumped
![]() ![]() What am I missing? Also, anybody got a good suggestion for doing the texturing? I was thinking of some kind of roll on bedliner. Do they make it in white? Mike |

Once you remove the carter key the hatch handle is just sitting in the square hole in the round part of the mechanism. The problem is you have 30yrs of rust (eventhough it doesn't have much rust) the fit between the shaft and the is super tight. Sand the shaft on the otherside of the circle and spray it with crc or something. Then try to lightly tap it out. Becareful not to break your hatch. If it won't come I have removed several by taking a C clamp and putting one end on the square end of the shaft and the other on the mechanism and turning, Essentially you are going to press out the shaft. Glad to see you go a window. I had thought about you. Been so busy with my business that I haven't had a chance to do anything with my hatches. If you need anymore help let me know
