Doors are a pain if you keeping them give them a good coat of wd40 then hit them with the heat
You will prob burn the outer part of the door and just heat the door hinge not the shell make sure ure new pin is in and wack it while hot. If u heat the hinge on the shell you may distort it as there a pain to get goig. If ure scraping the door open it up and grind the outer skin. To get. To the pin better and start it with a punch from above as once thefe moveing will go easy
bout
Eventually got it off! I drilled a hole in it do the chisel would sit at piece then it moved with 1 hit :)
Yeah I'm keeping the doors there in great condition, I'll have to get the doors off another day though I made my pin slightly too big. I threw the original one out so just had to guess the size.
I would cut it mate but I'm colour blind I would have cut the wrong wire or something haha lolQuote:

I've not done it but have seen people list useing the bonnet stay as a long punch but 8mm bar would do the same and if you turn a nipple on the end even bettersas it will hold it in the centre of the door pin.
If ure keeping them I would try not to use any heat its never the same door after you burn them
Yeah all wiring is out the car and none of it had to be cut :d

I've seen this a couple of times when I've been to the Brands Hatch meets and every time think of you. It's all carbon fibre with just the rear quarters and roof red.
