Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Now, replaced the tailgate cable. This one is missing the lock tab. It's real beat up. So I'm going to start. I can undo it from up here by just lifting the tailgate up, pushing it over that, lay it down. I'm going to do these one at a time so the other one on the other side will help hold the tailgate in place. I need to remove this bolt here. It needs a 13 millimeter socket. So it’s getting pretty loose. I can take it out with my fingertips. Put that bolt aside—I don't want to lose it. There's our old cable.
This is our old tailgate cable from our vehicle; this is our brand new 1AAuto.com. See, it's similar in design. Same length, so this will work great and hold our tailgate up.
Let's take our new cable and original bolt. There's a washer underneath there. There's a small washer under here that kind of fell out of place. Take a small flat bladed screwdriver and just hold it back up Where it belongs. There it is. Put my bolt through the cable and the cable in the hole. Got to tighten this down until it stops. The bolt has a shoulder on it so this can move. Now we can reconnect it and move these to lift the tailgate up. Place it over, push it in because that lock tab is there, and then we're going let it come down, and now it's locked into place. The cable is replaced. So the other side is going to be the exact same procedure.
So we're going to lift up on this one because it's not broken, lift up on the tailgate, push it out. Remove this bolt. I'm just going to take it out with my fingers. Place it all to the side, take our brand new one from 1AAuto.com. That little washer has fallen down. Pull this up, thread the bolt in, and tighten down with my socket ratchet. There we go. To reinstall this lift up on the tailgate, push it down, now it's locked into place and both cables are replaced.
