Convert. Deck Lid Hinge Removal ??
Trying to remove the rear deck hinges and I'm stuck. I removed the lower hinge bolt from the floor Reinf without a problem. Of the two upper bolts, I removed the inside one easily but I cannot get a 1/2 inch open end wrench, box wrench, socket wrench, or anything on the outside bolt. Its only a two finger space and very hard to get anything on the bolt head. I dont have a clue as to how they did it in the factory. I have to get the hinge off as the Reinf at bottom is rotted and will be replaced. Any hints on a special tool or any ideas?

Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize the problem had been previously posted on the forum. I did attempt a search before I posted by searching for "hinge" and found nothing. I guess I should have searched "hinges" Oh well!
