Hey guys, I searched but can't find what I need. Looked in the FSM but it wasn't much help.

I'm heading out to my parts car tomorrow morning to remove both doors. The entire doors, not just the door panels. It's fricken cold out (-20C) so I don't want to screw around trying to figure out how to do it. Can I remove the doors without removing the front fenders? The fenders are garbage anyway, so I can mess them up (car is a front-end write-off). Any idea what size the bolts are? Any help would be great!

either a 12 or 14/ Just bring a 10, 12, and 14. You can take it off without removing the fenders if you take the hinges off of the door also and not have to take off the fenders. It is super straight forward. Cut the harness if you don't need it if its not out of a power, if you need it there are two plugs near the dash.

Check my web page for step by step, including pics. You can do it by just sliding the pins out.

also bring a flat head and philips head screwdrivers, incase you are taking off the door cards to remove the harness so that you don't just cut it.

Thanks for the help. Ended up just peeling the fenders back and taking the doors off with the hinges as the fenders are scrap anyway. :dblthumb:
