just bought my 04 jeep tj a few weeks ago tried to get the doors off to no avail so did some searching ending up finding a post where a guy used a floor jack and a clock of wood with a notch cut in the top for the bottom of the door to sit.

tried it myself and after a few seconds of raising the jeep the doors literally poped off the hinges.....looking at the after looks like the previous owner never took them off and/or sunk the jeep deep in water and they corroded a bit to self weld them on.

sanded down the pins nice and clean applied some lithium grease and the pop on and off no problem.

wd40 will not hurt anything...but now that hammer is another story.

keep one nut on and work the door back and forth with lots of wd40 or krown/rust check or what ever you have on hand.

good luck

I had to WD40 the hinges on my 01 TJ. about 18 minutes later I got a ticket for no doors. Damn BC and their **** laws.

On a better note, might be getting another TJ this weekend. Goodbye liberty!

WD40 is the least active penetrant to use. PB Blaster @CTC is much better. once off I use vaseline to keep the hinges free. Off at the slightest lift.

i tried to take off the doors on mine and i found out that mine doesnt have the bolt to unscrew it its really odd.. i looked and it doesnt even have the hex bolt its just a circle one that someone screwed on i may have to bring it to the jeep dealership to figure it out so i can get it done.

WD 40 - 'bin there, done it, and no paint problems. Best to use the "buddy system" on remval, one guy rocking and reefing, the other to catch the sucker when she lets go or your gonna scuff the paint. I used "copper" anti sieze on my hinge pins and the pop in and out smoothly.
