q   Unplug electrical connector -2-.
q   Unfasten lock nut at drive unit → Anchor.
  Note
The eccentric pin → Item must be seated loosely in the hole in the hinge arm.

4 - Bracket
  Note
t  The bracket has been positioned at the factory using a special device and must not be moved out of this position.
t  If the bracket has to be renewed, e.g. in the case of accident repairs, proceed as follows:
q   Rear lid must be installed together with gas struts.
q   First attach bracket -4- loosely to drive unit using bolt -5-.
q   It must still be possible to move the bracket.
q   Push the drive unit parallel with the rear lid hinge pin until it makes full contact with the drive unit bush.
  Caution
Drive unit bush must make full contact with hinge pin collar.
q   Use bolt -3- to fasten bracket -4- on body and tighten bolt to 21 Nm.
q   Tighten bolt -5- to 8 Nm.
q   Secure eccentric pin to drive unit with lock nut (tightening torque → Anchor).
  Note
t  When the lock nut is tightened, the eccentric pin in the hinge is tensioned so that it is free of play.
t  You must therefore not use an open-ended spanner to counterhold the hexagon flats of the eccentric pin while you are tightening the lock nut.
t  When removing the drive unit, this tension can be slackened by turning the hexagon flats at the eccentric pin slightly clockwise after you have loosened the lock nut.
q   Tighten bolt at drive fork → Item to specified torque.
