removing a door?

[Ian]

am i right in thinking that to remove a door you just need one person to hold the door and the other one to tap the pin out with either a door pin remover or some sort of punch?

is it possible without a pin remover/punch? (havnt got one )

 

[Andy_Mk3]

Yup you just need to knock the pins out, you'd need something to get in there though suck as a punch or door pin remover

 

[Ian]

thought as much, will find something im sure

Pins can be tapped out using a big ass chisle or clamp some mole grips on the pins an whack the mole grips which inturn knocks the pins out..

^ Exactly what I was about to put.
Pull out the door check pin as well, this gives you a little more room to get to the hinges.

ok we tryed on the doors today and they wernt budgin any ideas also the steerin wheel we cant get it the 2 torx nuts from the back out

 

[carls gsi]

have you soaked the pins with wd40 also just bang the hindge its self might just give it some shock and losen it up a little think i used a flat end screwdriver when i did mine. its also worth tapping yhe pin back and forth while spraying wd40 on them hope this helps

The door pins can be very tight, i have them in the past were the door hindge has bent before the pins have moved, try and get some heat on them if they are severely tight, as for the torx screws on the steering wheel, i take it its the air bag wheel, once you have undone them then thats it, they don't come completely out the steering wheel unless you force them out,
