I used a box wrench, removed the plastic shroud from under the fender, and took the bolt out from under the fender.

Do yourself a favor and stuff some rags down into the lower part of the fender from the door opening. In case you drop a door pin (as I did) you won't have to spend a half hour struggling to get it out.

thx for info guys..

I managed to take a door off of JY camaro,
but only becaz the door was kinda smashed and it had extra room around the hinge area.

now when I took the JY door off, the door literally just fell off so fast..

what kind of method do u guys recommend to hold the door when taking the door off?

i wish i had some1 to hold the door for me while I do these kinda job but I don't.. so

in advance.

Since you aren't likely to have a door hanging tool, there are a couple of other methods you can use solo. Method #1; Put a floor jack under the door, then put a ladder over the door so the "A" of the ladder is over the door. Stuff the area between the top of the door and the ladder with towels. Method #2, use an engine hoist (aka cherry-picker and nylon strap to lift the door.

am I better off just getting help?
will putting a floor jack on buttom of the door, and have someone just hold the door surface work? or is it gonna smash on the person holding them?
