mj_lover Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 there is no easy way to get the torx off. i used a tork bit and a wrench when i did mine. if you intend to do this again, i'd replace the trox with hex head bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88swampedmj Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 hmm yea those torgue bolts arent to easy to get off especially the ones closest to the body.... but can i pop those little pins out instead of unbolting the brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Stumpy on this forum said he pulled the rollpins to remove his doors, I've never done it personally. I usually manage to get the door open enough to fit a torx socket on the bolts and get the doors off both my MJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I used an angle grinder and a zip disk. I cut the bottom third of each hinge off, then went to town with a sledge hammer. Hmm, that sounds predictably like me. Only thing is, don't pull the hinges off the doors once you get them apart. Realigning them is just a waste of time. It's on my 'to do' list, along with 500 Million other things. I've tried to drive the pins out of the hinges after pulling them apart, seems mine won't budge. I'm not sure why... That was how I had intended to get them apart in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
