PROCEDURES
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.
1.
Place vehicle on hoist.
2.
Using the proper lift points, raise vehicle to half up position (until wheel/tire is 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 aap
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.
Starting at the top center of the front wheelhouse liner, remove all attaching screws located rearward of the top center of the liner.
