Tailgate Removal...

can anyone tell me the fastest way to remove this thing? i mean, i know how, but the bolts are just so tight to get to. i removed one with an impact...but im guessing the others have to use a ratchet wrench?

Re: Tailgate Removal...

Not sure I may be understanding your request here.

There are only 4 bolts per hing on the tailgate, just remove the access plates on the gate. A ratchet or a air powered tool should have no problem getting to the bolts, just need an extension to get to them.
