Leave them on!!!!  Huge pain.  The hinges are set at the factory.  Also,
they were installed BEFORE the car was painted.  So when you disassemble
them, and primer/paint everything, you will be adding at least 8 layers of
primer/paint that WILL change the position of the doors.

Then when you go to put it all back together, what slight stumble and the
door taps the body and presto, you have chips all over your new paint - at
the fragile edges.

So leave it alone if you can!
