Boot lid for hatchback needs the pins knocked out from the hinge section, there should be clip on the pins you will need to take off them knock the pins out, just like the door hinges mate... big grin

I mean you could chock it up with some timber like my learned welsh friend says but for the amount of time it takes to knock the pins out you would be as well balancing it on your bonce.

Well i put my bonnet back on today (after its cheeky respray that will be announced later sshhhh) and balanced it on my head for about 20 mins while trying to screw in some bolts - cant be too hard to knock some pins out?
