				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!?
