u can use the thing that holds ur bonnet up. Cut it in half and hammer it at the pins. they should drop out after a lot of elbow grease :roll: . If not ask the guy at the scrapper to grind the doors off - on the A pillar side of the pins tho otherwise u have a door u cant use!!! :lol:
I think thats rite, but i probably sound like a tit!

Draper do a door pin removal kit, ive got one but it doesnt seem to be able to fit and get my pins out, but maybe thats because ive got a 5-door? You could always buy one if you cant get them off any other way and see if it fits yours...

u need a longer bar as u cant get to hit as the top of the door frame is in the wy, the bottom pin is fairly easy as u can hit it upwards to get it out, but ull probably struggle with the top as i did and i also dented the door more than once :(

Cheers for the tips, the scrap man got the door off in five minutes with a hammer an screw driver . Its only the pins on the door of me car that are stuck fast , but as the door is completely rotten am going to take a angle grinder to it
