Re: Door Removal
first, you need to take your door panel off, then disconnect the wires for window, door etc.
the upper hinge has 3 bolts on the outside (13 mm)
the lower hinge has 1 bolt from the outside (13mm) , and 2 bolts from inside behind the kick panel (15 mm I believe)
you need someone to help you when you remove the door because the door is too damn heavy

Re: Door Removal
for the lower hinge on the driver side, the bolts from the inside are behind the hood release. There is a silver box (window relay) needs to be removed in order to access the bolt.

Re: Door Removal
Thats a very wise suggestion, not only does it allow easy access to the bolts on the upper hinge, but it will prevent damage to the edge of the fender. Soon as that last bolt comes out, the door is gonna slip a bit, and wreck the paint along the rear edge of the fender and possibly the door too.
