Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: In order to minimize door realignment, do not remove both door hinges at the same time. Do each door hinge separately, and replace the broken door hinge first.
  1. Open and support the door.
  2. Clean the mounting surfaces of the hinges with a clean rag and mark the front door hinge locations on each surface with a grease pencil or other suitable marker.
  3. Remove the front door. Refer to Door Replacement - Side Front .
  4. Remove the hinge to pillar bolts and nuts.
