Door Removal

[fj60bum]

I took my front doors off to do rust work, they are a PAIN to get back on. Back doors are EASY, but the front SUCK. Any tricks or tips?

I thought you had to take the front fenders off to access the front door hinge bolts.

X2, use a ratcheting wrench, easy peasy.

I have mine on pins for an easy swap to 1/2 doors.

I went black, to match the bumpers

So I got the passenger side in, took 3 minutes. The drivers side looks like it won't clear the fender by half an inch what gives??

Oh that's cool as hell. Got a writeup on how you (or whoever did it) pulled that off? Those would be great to throw on when going up to the mountains in the summer.

I think it might be the angle of my hinges. What angle should my top and bottom hidges be set at?

So it lines up | < like that with the rear pillar , called "B".
"A" holds the windshield, "B" is next , and so on. Rear of , handle area , rear should be | | not /| always in line. That Adjustment is from the inside of the pillar, under the dash .
There are four 4 , adjustments , top , bottom, in and out , plus up and down.

Small , loose till known all is correct then lock down and make secure.

Finger tight+ , then recheck , Gravity works , so add a little drop ratio for wear in dropping later.
