How do you disassemble the trunk hinges on a 35 coupe?
On the inside there appears a tab locking the hinge pin in place.
I would like to remove the pin.

If I remember correctly, on my '36 3W coupe, the pin has a grove concentric to the pin diameter on one end and has a circlip or snap ring in the groove, preventing the pin from comming out. Remove the circlip and the pin pushes out. I think the '35 is the same. Hard to see it without climbing in the trunk.

The cap on the hinge pin has 4 small tabs. Use a screw driver to pry off the cap, and the pin can be removed.

Thanks for the replies, I used a small bent screwdriver to pry off the caps.
