You will need a door pin remover, and can be bought at any decent tool shop.
Still is a rght pain in the ass! I usually end up grinding them off, but thats not advisable, if you are keeping the shell!

a punch, pref a long one and a lump hammer. take off top n bottom pins, then the middle one which is dead small. id get a mate to hold it 4 u, coz thr alot heavier than they look!!!!!!!!!!! :D

i had to grind the bottom door pin off. i did it on the door side though so i could just stick the new door on . no damage at all to the body.

apparently if you cut up a standard support thingy that holds the bonnet up and keep the end that hooks into the bonnet and a little bit more of the metal this is the right size for tapping the pins out of the hinge, also allows you to have a length of metal so you dont hit the a piller

glad some one put this up. just got two doors off ben. so was going to ask myself eventually. think the bonnet stay thing sounds like a plan. even better as i am going to put lifters on the bonnet.
