I am in the process of removing the 51 tailgate. Most screws are removed. Anyone else do this before? Also trying to find where the spring (s) are??

Sorry, not much help with how to remove it, all I remember is that I it was one heck of a heavy piece once I got it removed.
So when you do remove it -- do it with a friend.

So how the heck would you ever re-install it with the spring tension?
