Important Technical Information:
Fesler Billet makes every effort to ensure that you are provided with the most
accurate and up-to-date technical information. However, all technical
information is approximate and may vary upon application. Fesler Billet is not
responsible for any consequences resulting from manufacture’s technical mid-
year changes. Fesler Billet products should only be installed by a qualified,
licensed auto mechanic experienced in the installation of such products.
Important Anodizing Information:
Anodizing does not produce "flawless" color or finish on any Fesler part order
that way. In fact, you should expect to encounter minor variations (or what
some call "blemishes") in the color and finish in individual pieces. Every Fesler
finish is unique in this regard. Remember, these variations are normal, and do
not affect the performance of the part in any way.
Other Important Stuff You Should Probably Read:
Fesler Billet is not responsible for customer applications that are outside the
normal and intended use of our products, including specific model and year
applications.
Fesler Billet designs all parts off original OEM applications. Due to the vast
array of manufacturers for aftermarket parts, it is possible that you may have to
make some minor adjustments to either our part or your sheet metal in order
for the part to fit properly.

Each side has hooks on the body that the spring is locked
into. Pull the spring down and towards the center of the
car to release the tension.
3. Rotate the spring until the opposite end can be removed from the
hinge. (The end of the spring at the hinge has a bend approximately 1
½” that is locked in to the hinge.)
If you do not care about saving the springs you can cut
them with a die grinder to aid in the removal AFTER
SPRING TENSION IS RELEASED
4. With a die grinder carefully grind the head off the hinge pin
CAREFULLY, ***Be careful not to cut the outer body skin.
This must be done on the outside of the hinge, between
the quarter panel and hinge. The pin is removed towards
the center of the car.
An angle die grinder works best. A mirror and light will
also be helpful.
Be sure to protect the carpet and all upholstery

hinge. Slide the pin out towards the center of the car.
