1. Pull the loom from the B post and un plug it. If electric, drop the window first.
2. Un bolt the check strap.
3. Support the door.
4. Drift the hinge pins out with summat suitable.

Can be done single handedly, but given how heavy the doors are, two people makes it alot easier :y

After unbolting check strap, close door, open driver`s door, drift both pins out, then remove rear door
