92 Door Removal

Going to pull my doors as im almost done stripping the body for paint on my 1992. Im painting the doors and tailgate separate, This will make doing my door jambs easier and help with space in the garage issues. Lookin at the hinges I think if i remove the bolts that hold the hinges to the door and leave the hinges in place will be my best bet. Does each side (hinge to body and Hinge to door) have adjustments on both or is just one side adjustable? So far ive placed masking tape around the door where the hinges bolt up and traced with a marker to help align backup ( didnt want to scribe marks in the door) I have not pulled the doors yet, i figure id ask first. Thanks

The adjustment is on the jamb side of the hinge. The door side should be fixed.

Got the passenger side off now the driver side is being a bit more stubborn...
I pulled the park brake assembly out of the way so that I could disconnect the harnesses on the driver side I can get to the one grey harness but the others I cant reach they seem to be up behind the dash somewhere...

I thought maybe ill jsut disconnect all the electrical from the door and pass it thru the hole (where the rubber hose goes between the door and jamb but the power window switch wont fit thru the hole. Am i missing something??

The harness should disconnect from the switch assemblies and you should be able to pass the connectors through the holes one at a time. That's the inverse of the assembly process.
