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

Re: How to remove a 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?

Re: How to remove a door
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

Re: How to remove a door
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.

Re: How to remove a door
Removing the plastic fender liner is another good way to reach those hinge bolts
