97 up door removal

for those of you with the newer style door hinges i have found that the easiest way to remove the pins is too remove the plastic sleeve around the pins, then take a dremel with cut-off wheel and cut through the center of the pin..then i took an air chisel and knocked out the top and bottom piece of the pin i just cut...repeat on other hinges...i did this after work today...took me about 3o mins per door...for now all i have was 1/4 x 3" bolts..that is too small there is alot of slop in the doors...tomorrow i will get some larger bolts and that should fix that...and i have all power windows, locks,mirror...i just unpluged everything from the kick panel...i just thought i would share my after work project....now i just need a mirror an i am good to go..

The dremel blades I have seen wouldn't last 10 seconds on that pin. I want to know what your used on the dremel to get through the pin.

Thanks,

i used the heavy duty cut-off ones...the look like mini cut-off wheels for grinders...

I just got done and did everything you did,,without reading it until after. Do you pin the front door hinges from the bottom?
