You've prolly gonna have to remove the fender, in order to remove the hinges from the door...

Thanks, I had a feeling that I'd have to do that.
Would I have to take my front bumper off in order to take fender off?

I think you can use one of those funky shaped wrenches too

lol! dont take off the fender. the door can be taken off without getting crazy and ripping the car down to the frame. if you have electric mirrors or windows, take off the door panel and unplug them. take the pin out of the door retention thing(between the door and the frame between the hinges). With the door open, look between the fender and the door(from outside the car) you will see 2 pairs of bolts attached to hinges. remove bottom ones first. now have someone hold the door, or use a jack stand or jack... lol the door is heavy and will need some sort of support before you take out the top 2 bolts.

SHAZAAM, NGA.. you have a door in your hands! lol

good luck dude.

take some pics with your phone or w/e as you take it apart. so you dont need to call a million people, or make all your hair fall out as you put it back together.

Removing the plastic fender liner is another good way to reach those hinge bolts
