    Default Door removal

    Having got a drivers side door which is considerably less rusty than my current one, I'm trying to replace it. Can anybody give me any tips or tricks to getting doors off? (I do not have the proper pin kit to do the job.)

    Any help would be great, cheers.

    go see will he's still got mine!

    lots of wd40 a big hammer, quite thin bar/punch and lots of swear words!
    top pin goes down bottom pin goes up

    but, if you aren't keeping the door grind the hinges off ON THE DOOR SIDE then it's easier to just wack the pins out!

    It's finding the right size pin to knock it out that I'm having trouble with... I would grind it off but I don't want to find I can't get the pins out and be left doorless :P

    Is that necessary or recommended? The guy at the scrappy got the bottom pin out downwards.

    Riggy, thanks for the tip but I don't have a spare bonnet stay
