I'am going to the J/Y saturday to get a driver's side door. I need to know what type of tools to bring with me to get the door off with?
Thanks.

I'd bring some combination wrenches and a breaker bar, too. The wrenches can get into tighter spaces than the sockets.

you dont need to take the spring out to get the door off

take the hinges with the door.....they unbolt from the body...but if you must seperate the hinges lonsal(on here) sells a tool to take them out or you can use a big screwdriver...very dangerous....i tied a wire to mine before i did this so it would go flying and stood way back....also if you are going to seperate the hinges your gonna need a dremel or something to take the pins out.....
