Ford has stumped me. Manual doesn't properly explain how to remove the tailgate for the 2017 F 250. I've found lots of YouTubes, but nothing seems to match the hinge on my tailgate. Here's what I am doing. Lifting 45 degree angle, remove straps. Try to pull right side out of hinge. BUT as seen in photos there is a metal bracket preventing me from taking the tailgate off the hinge. I bought a torque socket to remove the white plastic screw I thought was just holding that bracket but the entire hinge assembly was coming off so I stopped removing the screw. So I can't lift the passenger side out of hinge and so can't slide out of driver side hinge as instructions explain. If anyone can provide exact instructions on doing what should be really simple or refer to a web link or youtube video for an 2017 F250 I'd appreciate it.
