Title: tj doors stuck
Post by: JPuchyr on June 28, 2014, 09:55:43 AM
Help... ;)
I can't seem to get my doors off.
Removed the 4 nuts, but lifting the door won't budge.

Any. Suggestions?

Thanks for the advice...

Anyone got a jacks-all I can borrow? ;)

 I can provide the lube and 2x4 ... why does that sound dirty?  :o

If you are around the NW, you can swing by and use my jack to get your doors off....  yes that does sound "dirty"...   Once you take the doors off a few times it becomes easier to remove them.  drop me a line, takes no time...

Floor jack with a piece of wood works good also.

Thanks for all the advice, floor jack and a stack of 2x4s worked....
worked too well on the passenger, door popped out and fell on the floor, denting the lower corner :(

Ah well, excuse for a new paint job
