If you have pwr doors the 1st thing to do is unplug the windows and locks--to do this you have to take off the door panel. These doors are heavy so you might want to get a friend to help you to hold it up--or you can use a floor jack w/a rag between it and the door(protect the paint)Next just start to loosen the hinge bolts between the fenders and doors. Also what I would do before all this would be to roll the windows down--so you don't break the glass--also you might want to mark where the hinges are located--so you won't have to really mess w/alignment issues too much. Hope I didn't leave anything out! Good Luck!
