Removal Procedure
Important:
• In order to minimize door realignment, do not remove both door
hinges at the same time. Do each door hinge separately, and replace the broken
door hinge first. • If front door, do not loosen the cone adjuster bolt (10-mm
hex head), the cone could fall down inside the pillar and create a rattle
situation.
- Remove the door. Refer to Door Removal - Front or Rear Side Door Removal .
- Clean the mounting surfaces and use a grease pencil to mark the door hinge locations on each surface.
- Remove the door hinge to door bolts (2).
- Remove the door hinge to body bolts.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
