Tailgate removal

I'm trying to remove the tailgate on my 04 SCab. I can get the straps out and slide the right hinge out, but I'm having issues sliding the left hinge out. I think I'm supposed to slide the gate to the right, but it's just not budging. Am I supposed keep it all the way down, up, or at an angle before sliding it to the right? Should I bang it a few times with a mallet or something? I've tried loosening it with some WD40. Any pointers/tips?
