Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Important:

In order to minimize door misalignment, do not remove both door hinges at the same time. Do each door hinge separately, and replace the broken door hinge first.
If the front door, do not loosen the cone adjuster bolt, the cone can drop down inside the pillar and create a rattle situation.

Remove the door.
Clean the mounting surfaces and use a grease pencil in order to mark the door hinge locations on each surface.
Remove the door hinge to door bolts (2).
