[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 436772, member: 18629"] Each jeep and door will be slightly different depending on how everything has been bent over the years. The adjustment is on the door plates by loosening them and Those dang bolts can be almost impossible to get out. I had two snapped off from a previous owner. I ended up letting them soak for several days and using lots of heat from a mapp gas torch and easy out. Sand the paint off around the head of the bolts so the penetrating oil can get in. Once you get them hot just wiggle them back and forth a little at a time to break free the bond. After loosening the door plates I was able to fit the door in place and tighten the hinges. That was a great day getting those out. [ATTACH type="full"]120648[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
