Hi, I would try WD40 first if that fails to work then try a product called "OOPS" you can buy it at most hardware stores or department stores. I got mine at Wal-Mart in the paint department. I've used it to remove glue residue from my car left by stickers. Be careful, OOPS will take paint right off, do not use on painted surfaces.
No. Common practice after removing doors.
For removing the door side panels, See "Related Questions" below for specifics on the front & side doors.
how do you remove the doors from a 2004 jeep wrangler
Lubrication. check the to see if the door is twisted
You can remove the panels from the doors of the 1997 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 GLX by first removing the screws from the door handles. Then, pry the panel away from the frame using a flat tool like a chisel or a screwdriver.
Nail varnish remover, turpentine or lighter fluid are all very good at removing this but make sure you open windows/ doors ect when cleaning with these.
Pleas explain "nonwood" -That does make a difference. Many methods of removing paint damages certain surfaces, so knowing what the surface IS can be important.
I would try either a strap wrench, or, a pair of vice grips with a thick cloth covering the nut.
I have a 99 sport and the doors should be the same. Just remove the nuts on threaded studs and lift up. If the doors have never been removed this may require two people, but they will lift up. The nuts do not need to be put back on. The doors will stay just fine without them and makes removing again a snap!
Removing the doors to TJ model Jeeps on requires removing the 2 nuts under the door hinges on each side. These nuts are lock nuts so it takes a little effort. Once the nuts have been removed the doors should slide up and off. If you have never removed the doors before it is a good idea to spray a lubricant on the hinges first to allow easier removal. Remove the limiting straps from the inner holder under dash, with windows down gently push up on door while swinging it in and out. Careful as the doors are heavy. At this point your interior lights will stay on unless you have adapters that hold them in. Another way is to remove glove box and pull fuse #10, that controls interior light only.
First make sure nothing is on and the ignition is off, with the doors shut. If you have a under-hood light remove it while changing the battery. Always remove the negative cable first and connect it last when reconnecting the cables.
on the bottom of the hinge pins there is a nut, you remove that and then lift the doors straight up!!
