Decklid Hinge removal
How do I do it? Surely I'm doing something wrong here?
I simply cannot get the the third bolt inthe corner. Cannot get my hand inthere, cannot get a socket in there. Just can't get my mind around it.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

The only way to get that bolt out is to first remove the spring, with the spring removed you can get a 1/4" drive thin walled deep socket with a short extension and remove the screw. it's not easy and patience is required. I removed and reinstalled them in my 68 using this method. Bob

Do they have to come out? My advice is to leave them in.
