Upper Door Hinge Adjustment
I need advice on how to loosen the door hinge bolts that attach the hinge to the door pillar without removing the fender? I can open the door and reach through the opening between the door and fender with a swivel socket and extension and loosen two of the bolts but I can't get to the third from any direction. Does someone make a special tool to do this job or must I remove the fender? Thanks, Jim P.

what is the reason that you need to adjust your hinges. but quick you can pull the two pins out of the hing and remove the door and maybe get to it from that away. but if you want to adjust the hinges because the door dont shut right you may need new hing pins, which was easy for me for my first time and did it by myself, and you can also losen and move your door stricker to. note dont full un bolt this for i have had a buddy spend hours trying to get it back out of the fram.

You gotta remove the fender, I just went through thi when I installed new doors. You dont even have to remove it all the way, I took off enough bolts at the back half to pull the fender out far enough to fit a ratchet behind it.
