You never said if you needed to refit the door lol

I used the bar and pin tool, I got 3 door pins out but the 4th didn't want to play, I did get the grinder out but saw sence and got a friend to remove it properly before I done something silly lol

next time support the other end of the door & take the weight off it.. the pins wear funny, and jam solid, so raising them back up to where they were originally makes a heap of difference
