56 Packard trunk hinge replacement help

Hello
Need to replace my 56 Packard trunk hinge. Old one is shot.

Is there a procedure to replace it by myself? Do not have any helpers on this.

Trunk is attached to both hinges. Any tips or advice would be appreciated!!

Thanks

Gary

If no helper, maybe you can strap it to the rafters of the garage. Otherwise you’ll need a lift but finding a helper is better overall.

Find a helper for 5 mins is easier than any other option tbh
