Yes there are a total of 4 bolts and all are accesible from the same 1" hole visible on each side of the hatch once the back door finisher lower panel is removed. One set of nuts is clearly visible by looking through the hole and the other set are actually bolts about 1.5" more towards the rear of the Z hatch.

Yes the 10mm is needed for both. Be very careful removing the nuts and bolts because if they fall, they slide towards the front of the hatch between the open spaces. May want to stuff a paper towel in there to prevent the nut/bolt from sliding towards the front of the hatch. I had to use a magentic extension to fish the first one out. Lessons learned.

I'm super disappointed at what I'm seeing in here. This forum is a community of enthusiasts, not a cool kids club where we bash someone for his wheels in a posts completely unrelated to his wheels. Get on board with the community spirit or find yourself another Z forum.

Nothing wrong with the picture. He even captioned it. In case you did not read it, I'll sum it up.

Here's a pic of my PW Z, then proceeds to post pics of a black Z. His intentions were fishing for "compliments" is what I got from this thread.

I tend to keep any comments to myself and not care what people do to their car(s) as everyone has their own style/taste

Gentelmen, I made a rookie mistake while removing a part from Z and tried to make light of it. I am glad my error helped at least one person responding to this thread. I do not want to start conflict between members because that is not why we are here! We are here to help each other as far as I can tell and will continue with that thought in mind as I visit The 370Z.com forum.
Peace
