How to remove a bent w123 trunk hinge?
OK, a quick search and I couldn't find it.
I am helping a friend switch out donor parts for a badly bent sedan trunk and at first glance into my trunk, I do not see any bolts for the hinge base. Looks like the base plate in spot welded in? Therefore leave it. Hinge pivots on 1 pin; do I just bent the metal tab back away from this pin's head and push it out???? Then replace from that connection point? Any experience and all directions would be appreciated!?

heh, come on over to my house, and we can cut the entire fender off of my parts cars, flip the car upside down, and examine to your hearts content!
doing a look over on the last one I flipped onto the trailer, it looked like the spring held it against a tab, and it should come off once the spring is released.
