Brendo! Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hello i was just curious on how to get my front doors off to prep for paint as i can't get them off, probably a dumb question but yeah any help is appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 There are 4 bolts on the inside of the door. Undo them. The stay that stops the door swinging has a pin, hit the pin from underneath with a hammer gently it will pop out. Voila, door is off. Easier with 2 people. I'm assuming this car is an old corolla?

altezzaclub Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) One way takes the door off the hinges, the other takes the door and the hinges off the body- Note how they shut before you take them off. If they have drooped (especially the driver's door) shape a bit of 1mm metal sheet and put it between the bottom hinge and the door to tilt the door back to where it latches cleanly.
