Door wiring and removal

I'm removing the doors to replace the pins. Can you snake the door wiring out of the door instead of disconnecting it from under the dash? I have kick panel speakers and it's quite tight under there.

No need to remove the wire harness from the doors when replacing the pins. You can accomplish this without disconnecting the wiring harness.
But to answer your question, yes you can disconnect all the connectors in the door (power locks, windows, electric mirrors) and then pull the rubber accordion from the door side and slide the wires out of the door.

Perfect, thanks. Need to some hinge work to align the door a bit better so I'll need some space.
