I got the nuts off, but the bolts are not moving an inch. Any tips or tricks on getting the doors off?
Thanks!

With the nuts off . just lift the whole door up. Should come right out!

Take the nuts off. I'd spray some kind of lube on the hinge, (WD-40), then un hook the strap, roll down the window, grab the bottom of the door about 3/4 of the way to the hinge, grab the window frame with the other, and pull up.
As you pulling it swing the door. First time should be sort of difficult, but you can get it off.
Once they're off, I'd sand the post that goes in the hole a little bit, and put some kind if lube on it. I used graphite lube. This makes it easier for you to get them off next time.
When they're off, I set the doors on a foam pad, leaned up on my quads, with blankets between them to protect them. Also, I screw the nuts back on so I don't lose them.
HTH, Jered.

Shoot them with a little penetrating oil. Wiggle the door back and forth as you lift straight up. Once you have them off the first time they come off much easier. Put a touch of grease on the pins when you put them back on.

Thanks guys. I actually figured it out. I shot it with a 3 in 1 oil and let it soak in. I got a bit over excited and went for a drive...leaving all 4 nuts on the hood....Whoops. I assume one can get these replaced??

You mean you're supposed to replace those nuts?  |

I never put mine back on, but if I didn't have the oem ones, I would pick up some stainless oes....no rust!
