How to replace rear panel

[PhopsonNY]

My 89 240sx hatchback got side swiped on the driver side:(

I got the mirror replaced and I think I can bang out the dents on the fender, but the rear quarterpan has been ripped.

I can get the replacement from a junkyard.

I have looked in the FSM, but I have no clue how to take it off and replace it with a new one.

Can anyone give me any clues?:help

thanks much

my friend's S13 hatch is the same way...has some serious dents in the rear quarter. I think he determined that there's no easy way to do it; it would have to be more or less cut off.

The rear quaterpanel on the S13 is part of the unibody. You have to cut it out and weld in a new piece.
