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!?
