  Q: How to Perform a Liftgate Hinge Replacement on Cadillac SRX?

  A: Before replacing the liftgate hinges locate them with a pencil-marking method while keeping the liftgate in an open position. Take off the grommet from the upper right vehicle body corner and detach the electrical connector and washer hose. Unplug the electricity at both top left ports before pulling away the upper left grommet. Position your hands under the liftgate while letting it stay open and unscrew the liftgate assistance rods that attach to the top ball studs. Open the access panel doors in the header trim panel to reach the nuts that keep the liftgate hinge in place. Use support to lift the gate from the vehicle afterward remove the bolts attaching the hinges to the liftgate before disconnecting the hinges. Position the new liftgate hinges on the vehicle according to their location marks while adhering to all fastener safety guidelines. Utilize the bolts to attach the liftgate hinges to their locations and fasten all liftgate hinge nuts to 25 Nm (18 lb ft). Have someone assist you in replacing the liftgate while you fasten it with its factory-set nuts. Insert the header trim access doors then join both liftgate assist rods to their upper ball stud before taking off the liftgate support. Attach the upper left electric connectors then fit their grommet before joining electrical connections plus a washer hose to the right corner grommet installation. Finally, close the liftgate.
