need a door pin remover,
a rod feeds though the pin and a little nuts is screwed on. then slide hammers out.
you will struggle if you try screw drivers and what not as it genrally expands the pin making it tighter

if it was good enough to stuff both doors good chances are the b pillar would of moved

door pin remover expensive ?
bursons or repco vic?

[VL Berlina 5speed]

not sure about anyshops you would find it at, its a specitaly tool that majority if not all crash shops have.
only place ive seen with them are like the snap on trucks that drives around shop to shop

tried to get a door removal tool,,no luck at auto one(rare spares bayswater).
bursons(bayswater) can get me one in for about 90 bucks
they suggested using hammer an a punch
i have ordered the tool from them
i will have it in 2 days
i will have a crack at me doors then
let yas know how i go

LMAO at this thread, you cant use a punch at all, it makes them tighter, learnt the hard way.
Go to supercheap and buy a 3 pack of vice grips for 10 bux, you get 3 different sizes.
Now you clilp these onto the pin and not crush it but squeeze it together so it doesnt have so much pressure. then get a hammer and belt it enough, also use wd-40. Rear doors are easy as to do, front dorrs nromally require the gaurd to come off doing it this way. Have the door closed but not fully closed, so its on the striker but not fully shut.

i'll get the pin remover tool
have it for future us if i need it
cheers

will i have to take the guard of to do thew front with the pin removal tool?

[Tom_1569]

Not sure if you will have to remove the gaurd with the tool, ive never used one, i think their a waste of money when vice grips do the job.

[R0d]

nah man the guard wont need to come off, just becareful when you use the hammer as its easy to hit the door jams

[creamy]

thanks mate

nah just remove the check strap pin first so it will open up more
