Title: door removal
Post by: marcus on 07 March 2008, 13:01:33
hi
need to replace both doors crushed by a bus - can see the two roll pins holding on the doors but is there any special way or tool used for getting these out as driving them out from the top looks difficult to get at?
as usual haynes manual pretty useless in this respect - is there a better manual available?

Yes, you can buy a proper pin puller. The tool is prone to breaking though if they've been there a long time.

Remember to support the door with a jack.
