Trev, et al,
The giant phillips headed screws that hold the hinges in place can be
removed easily by simply using a mild steel rod to transmit the shock of a
hammer blow onto the head of the screw.
Place the steel bar against the head of the screw and give it a whack with
a ball peen hammer.  Don't hit it so hard that it deforms the screw head!
Just give it a good jolt. Then, using a proper sized (giant) screwdriver
just unscrew the little pains.
Remove the splash shield behind the front wheel and use a 11/16" socket to
remove the two nuts that retain the hinges.
Don't forget to have a friend support the door while you pull those nuts!
Regards,
Ray
