R4 rear bootdoor removal (Help)

[BlueNET]

Hey everyone,

I am clueless how to remove the rear door, attached or two pictures of the hinges.

One I assume is easy with the nut but the other has none, and I am afraid to use ape power without first asking you experts.

Thanks for any help

Remove the nut and the whole door should wiggle out sideways. Make sure the strut and wiring has been removed first.

If you are painting it's neater to remove the hinges from the rear door after it has been removed. There are holes that allow access to the nuts.

Thanks for the tip, your a super star!

The wire for the back light, any advice for removing?

Found it, was hidden in the pillar

Make sure you have the strut dealt with. It springs out and will injure you if you do not hold it and unwind it under control. Support the door on a pole so that you can use one hand for the spanner and one to hold the strut to stop it lashing out and hitting you in the face.
