    I've never seen one of those before but **** me, its gonne be put on order!! Cheers lads.

    I used to use a pair of Vice grips and a hammer but it never worked too well. The Most ignorant one was a Sledge to remove an old door but it resulted in the door frame hinges being bent out of shape, which was nice.
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    well i grind the corners off so it is easy to get at but ordering one of them will come in handy at work aswell as a panel beater

    even with the proper tool it can still be a ****. i still say its easier to spend 10 mins taking the wings off as then you can take the pins out with the door closed. then just lift the door off. instead of doing a balencing act

    Sorry but i dont agree at all, i work as a car dismantler and on vaux doors with a hollow pin i just use draper door pin removal kit, cost the great sum of about a tenner and it's a piece of p**s to take them off this way, no need what so ever to take the wing off ! just wind the window down and support the door on your shoulder whilst you tap them out, always take the bottom one out first obviously else you make it a nightmare and also obviously need to undo the check strap and wiring first.

    just put a garage jack under the corner of the door, so it doesnt hang down while removing the 2nd pin.

    Placing a jack under the door ????? are you crazy ??? that'll scratch the bottom of the door plus its just unnecessary ! Nova doors are light as a feather, just use your shoulder to support it, easy.
