08 tailgate removal?

Can anyone tell me how you remove a 2008 tailgate? With the torsion bar on the new gates, it doesn't seem to pull off the drivers side like the old ones. Anyone removed their yet?

Thanks

It still comes off in the same way as the older ones. It requires a little more wiggling and the closer to being closed you can have it, the less spring pressure will be exerted on it, making it easier.

Ha,ha..That was pretty easy. Just needed to nearly close the gate to get it off.

Thanks!
