New policies, procedures and labor time allowances have been developed regarding door hinge service on 1989-92 "L" coupes/sedans.
Policy:

Service parts will be packaged in "door sets", or two hinges in each package and all attaching holes are prepierced. New part numbers are as follows:

NOTICE:
This procedure differs from the previous procedure (removing the door from the vehicle) in that:
a.
The door remains on the vehicle.
b.
Access to both front door hinges is made through the front wheelhouse area.
c.
The hinges come pre-primed.
NOTICE:
In order to minimize door realignment, DO NOT remove both door hinges at the same time. Do each hinge separately, and replace any broken hinges
first.
Procedure:
1.
Place vehicle on hoist.
2.
Using the proper lift points, raise vehicle to half up position (until wheel/tire chest high).
NOTICE:
Make sure that the doors are fully latched onto the lock striker and the doors are not locked.
3.
Using two pieces of masking tape, place one piece to bridge the gap between the door and rocker panel and the second piece to bridge the gap
between the door and quarter panel or rear door (to act as reference points for door alignment).
4.
Cut the tape at the gap area using a utility knife or other suitable tool.
5.
Remove the front tire and wheel assembly.
6.
Using a pin punch or awl and a hammer, and starting at rear of front wheelhouse liner, punch out the center mandrels from the last five (5) plastic
attaching rivets.
7.
Remove attaching rivets and discard.
8.
Remove remaining screw attachments and position the liner forward of the front suspension assembly.
9.
Remove the insulator cover attachments and insulator cover (located between fender and hinge pillar).
