Left passenger door removal

Hi,

The door is held on by hinges. They unbolt from the body of the vehicle. I don't have directions for door replacement, but I do for hing replacement which requires you to take the door off the car. The only thing is if there is wiring going to the door. In that case, you will need to remove the door panel and disconnect the components and route the wiring out of the door.

Here are the directions I have. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

Removal Procedure

Note: In order to minimize door realignment, do not remove both door hinges at the same time. Do each door hinge separately, and replace the broken door hinge first.

You are very welcome. Feel free to let me know if I can help. Be careful when you do this simply because the door is heavy.

Take care,
