Taking off Jeep doors

[justicedogue]

Can anyone please explain to me how to get my 95 wrangler doors off. There is a pin on top and on the bottom. The pin on the top has a nut on the bottom of the pin but it wont budge. Please help.

Get a socket on that nut and put a little umph behind it, it will come off. A little penetrating solvent can help, too (WD-40)!

Thank you for your reply! It seems as though when I put some umph into it. the whole pin turns along with the nut. Any suggestions!

BUMMER> You could try heating it up, but If the pin is spinning inside the hinge, you might just have to cut off the pin at the top of the nut (but the doors will be alot easier to steal). Did you try dousing it with solvent?

justicedogue,

I had the same problem (spinning hinge pin) with one of my CJ half-doors. I dealt with the problem by opening the door, then drilling a hole from the interior side through the top cap or cup which holds the hinge pin and slightly into the hinge pin.

A garage-owning friend then filled the drilled hole with his welder. That permanently (hopefully) secured the hinge pin in place.

Use PB Blaster as a penetrant, much better than WD40. Save the WD40 for drying out the distributor cap.

WD-40 has its uses, but PB-Blaster is a better penetrant.

Autozone, napa, pep boys, and I could have sworn I saw it at wally world the other day (walmart) And where I live we don't have those huge walmarts with grocery stores and hair salons and taco bells in them like you southern boys do. We have the simple back to basics wally world!

spray on the PB blaster as you turn the doors side to side. just soak them , and keep yankin away.

Hey jps. I wouldn't say that for very long. I 'live in Jerseyand my mom is a store manager for Walmart. Her store's got groceries, oil change, the works. Biggest store in Jersey matter of fact. Sorry just boasting a little. But I'm sure that it won't be long before they make it to you!
