I did two of these jobs last month.The replacement shocks I got just bolted on very much like the originals on the top side and cliped on the bottom. Removeing the old one is a little tricky figering out how to flip the little spring clip up then pull it out then pop the shock off.Have somebody to hold the gate up for you while you work it is much safer than a prop rod.

How do you open a jammed tailgate on a 2001 GMC Jimmy Someone hit the spare tire and now it is not able to open?
If the damage is minimal then try and remove the door panel so you can access the internal workings of the door and try to get the catch mechanism to release that way. Hope This Helps. Pulled from: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071001131029AAvU8LI&show=7 Don't hit it or kick it or push it or pull it...this is an easy one! When you pull up on your handle, these two arms on the handle in turn push two levers, one lever will pull on the right side rod and the other lever will pull on the left rod. After time these levers start to get bent out of shape from use. Eventually, when you pull up on your handle to open your tailgate usually one of the levers is so bent that is doesn't fully pull the rod enough to release the latch. One side might release but not the other. So here's what you do---lift up on the handle about halfways and look up under there. You can see where the two rods (the ends are in an 'L' shape) are inserted into plastic nuts. You can now see when you lift up the handle all the way which rod isn't getting pulled on---the one with the least movement. Those plastic rod clips clip onto the shaft of the rod after the tip of the rod is inserted into it. Let's first release the clips---Get a long flat-bladed screwdriver and position it under the part of the clip that is on the shaft. Pry up on it until it releases from the shaft. You can now push the 'L' shaped part of the rod out of the clip. Do that to the other clip also, although you might have to pry down on the clip to release it then remove the 'L' shaped end from the clip. Now you can manually pull the 'L' shaped ends of the rods towards each other to release the latches. Maybe a pair of pliers or needle-nosed pliers would be easier. Pushing on the tailgate to relieve the pressure on the latches may make it easier to pull on the rods too. You can also release one side at a time to open it. Once opened you can take the bent handle off of the tailgate and try to reposition the bent parts (which works a lot of the times) or just replace it. Just remove the three bolts on the inside of the tailgate and wiggle the handle out. Maybe hold the handle in the open position while removing it might help. Then you can operate the handle and see where everything makes contact with each other and see if you can put things back in the position they were supposed to be. When all is said and done be sure to WD-40 everything!!! Hope this helps best of luck.

How do you open 1987 plymoth reliant tailgate?
To open the tailgate you have to use the key in the tailgate lock. If it is like mine, it does not always release immediately and you just need to push on the tailgate while the key is turned. You should be able to hear the latch release and then you just lift the tailgate up. If the shock absorbers for it are worn out it will be a slow hard lift to get it to open completely. l
