Its much easier to remove the door from the hinges first, then removed the
hinges from the cab. Sometimes the hinges are a pain to get off the cab,
cuz more often than not they break loose from behind, the nuts are held
stationary and if they get rusty and when turning the bolt it breaks the
nut loose and they just sping. Then the fun begins--you have to get behind
the hinge and secure the nut. I think i was able to get to it using a long
rachet, if I remember right... Good luck..wayne
