Hi jacquesrbrown,

In order to replace the door hinges, you need to
1. Remove the front fender liners to enable access to the door hinge bolts on the body. Removal of the fender would make the job easier, at least partial removal.
2. Replace 1 door hinge at a time. Remove the door hinge holding bolts. Support for the door would be required when hinges are removed.
3. After replacement of the hinges, you need to adjust the door alignment to make it flush and level with the body. Door striker for the latch might need to be adjusted as well.
