  2. Lubricate each hinge cup with NLGI No. 2 grease.
  3. Insert the left side of the tailgate into the left hinge and raise it to a 45 degree angle.
  4. Insert the right side of the tailgate into the right hinge.
  5. Support the tailgate to allow slack in the support cables and reattach the cables one at a time.
