Real hard!

I'm 6'3" 225ish and I had to get into the trunk and use my legs to push hard enough to get them to come loose.

Not easy, but more than do-able.

Easy off, but if it's hot, then there will be butyl sealant everywhere.

- Pull back the lining.

- Undo the 4 screws with an 8 mm DEEP socket.

- Heat up the tail a bit if it's cold out.

-Push Hard.
