Hi Guys and Girls

 

Need some help !!

 

I would like to remove the 2 front doors, is there an easy way to remove the pins or do i need a special pin removal key.

(Have tried to drift them through but a little afraid of mushrooming the top of the pins and then i would never get them out )

 

Ideally i dont want to go down the remove the hinge nuts from the inside of the dashboard etc as they are buried well deep and i'm not a contortionist :smile:))) .......

 

All help appreciated :smile:

I tried to remove the door pins with a universal pin removal tool but had no luck, ended up removing the bolts from inside the car, soz mate I know it's not what you want to hear but may be the easiest way.

Thanks for the reply, not what i wanted to hear but maybe its the only way :ohmy: !!

Seems a real bad design by Ford as there appears to be plenty of room to have the nuts on the outside of the hinge.... :taz:

Am I am right in thinking that the top pin should be removed in a downward direction and the bottom pin is upwards , after removing the tiny circlips that are at the top and bottom of the pins??

Might just WD40 them and then bash the crap out of them with a large drift bar :teu26: :teu26:

 

Cheers

Chris
