rear wing removal

Hi to every one,can someone please tell me how can i remove rear wing? When my rear spoiler is at down position and is not moving up or down, the motor make a moving sound with no effect on the wing position. I have the special tool of wing removal but it can't reach it. I thank you all for your help/input in advance .

You need to lift up the wing under spring tension and put a padded block under it to hold it up. Not easy but doable.

No offense please but did you try the search function (I'm guessing no)? There are a lot of threads existing on this subject including some DIY instructions with photos (I just posted about 2 weeks ago). Let us know if you have any specific questions after reviewing all that is currently out there on this site. Good luck.

You can pull the two wires off the back of the pump motor that is hiding under the plastic shroud on the underside of the deck lid. Take a battery charger and touch it to the back of the spoiler motor.
One direction lowers the wing, the other raises it. Just make sure you don't keep the circuit going in the wrong direction so you don't hurt your pump.
This will bypass the dash switch and get it to move. As long as there is enough hydraulic fluid in the system.

Car been sitting for awhile? If the pump runs the worm drive screw that pushes the fluid up is pretty simple. Doubt it's broken.
Pull the pump off the decklid, stand it on end(banjo fittings pointed at the ceiling) and take them off. Lower the worm drive down to the bottom by connecting the battery charger, top it off with pentosin reattach the banjo fittings, reverse the battery charger clamps and your up.
You then need a spanner tool or if not you can use a strap wrench.
If your rams don't leak to bad you can limp it along for years by mixing 50% power steering stop leak and pentosin. It will cause the seals in the rams to swell hopefully slowing down the leak.
Worked for me for three years of daily driving before I had to do it again.
These parts aren't cheap so good luck.
