To release the tailgate:
*
[FV07701(R )10/90]
Open the tailgate as directed above, but support it to allow for
slack in the cables at both sides. Use a coin or similar object to
pry the spring clip (on each upper cable connector) past the
head of the support screw. Doing so will allow you to center
the wider opening in the connector over the screw head and
disconnect it.
*
[FV07801(R )05/90]
If you disconnect the upper end of each cable, you can lower
the tailgate completely.
*
[FV07901(R )05/91]
NOTE: Step bumpers or hitches may damage the tailgate if it
is lowered completely.

[FV08301(R )07/92]
First release the tailgate as described above. Be sure to support
the left side to prevent it from falling. Then raise the tailgate to
a 45 degree angle (see the following illustration) and lift the
right side of the tailgate off its hinge. You can now pull the left
side of the tailgate away from the left hinge.
