Exclamation Replacing a Door

Hey, So I was the victim of a hit and run that severely damaged the passenger door of my xjs. I came to the conclusion that it would be cheaper just to have a new door painted. I have a "donor" car with a blown engine amongst other things but I do not know how to get the hinge pins out? Any tips or tricks?

Cant help you with the hinges, however I can tell you to make sure you lube up the power window tracks and wheels as well as the power lock actuator. Just pull up that rubber seal and shoot some lube in there. I used spray silicone. Some recommend graphite, white lithium, teflon...who knows. I do know NOT to use WD-40.

Thanks for the tips! I figured out that you can unbolt the door from behind the door panel. I also found that the door is ready to come off when the last bolt pops off... Thank goodness my foot was there to save the door from hitting the ground.. X.x
